Package: gdebi Version: 0.9.5.7+nmu1 Severity: normal User: multiarch-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: multiarch
Hi! With wine32:i386 installed on an amd64 system, gdebi incorrectly says "Status: Error: no longer provides wine32". However it displays the "Included files" correctly (fun fact: in synaptic the issue is just the other way). Original report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/1682874 Background: wine32 is a multi-arch foreign package, available only on 32-bit architectures. But it is required also on 64-bit architectures to run 32-bit Windows executables, so it is an essential part of nearly every Wine installation. This seems to be an issue only for M-A: foreign if the package is not available on the native arch. Not found for e.g. dosbox:i386 which is Multi-Arch: foreign, or libwine:i386, which is M-A: same and exists on 32- and 64-bit archs. $ dpkg -s wine32 Package: wine32 Status: install ok installed [...] Architecture: i386 Multi-Arch: foreign Source: wine Version: 2.0.1-1 $ dpkg -L wine32 /. /usr /usr/lib /usr/lib/wine /usr/lib/wine/wine /usr/lib/wine/wineserver32 /usr/share /usr/share/bug /usr/share/bug/wine32 /usr/share/bug/wine32/control /usr/share/bug/wine32/script /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc/wine32 /usr/share/doc/wine32/NEWS.Debian.gz /usr/share/doc/wine32/changelog.Debian.gz /usr/share/doc/wine32/changelog.gz /usr/share/doc/wine32/copyright /usr/share/lintian /usr/share/lintian/overrides /usr/share/lintian/overrides/wine32 Greets jre -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'stable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gdebi depends on: ii gdebi-core 0.9.5.7+nmu1 ii gir1.2-gtk-3.0 3.22.11-1 ii gir1.2-vte-2.91 0.46.1-1 ii gksu 2.0.2-9+b1 ii gnome-icon-theme 3.12.0-2 ii python3 3.5.3-1 ii python3-gi 3.22.0-2 Versions of packages gdebi recommends: ii libgtk2-perl 2:1.2499-1 ii lintian 2.5.50.4 ii shared-mime-info 1.8-1 gdebi suggests no packages.
