Package: libxml-simple-perl Version: 2.22-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
The package libxml-simple-perl is not Multi-Arch compatible, so the package cannot be installed concurrently on multiple architectures (e.g. amd64 and i386). This is a limitation to building 32-bit Wine on amd64, as the package is a build dependency for both i386 and amd64 architectures. The package does not have any files in /usr/lib, so there are no conflicts. Also, the package is already marked as "Architecture: all". I patched the control file to add "Multi-Arch: foreign" and installed the package on amd64. I then ran "apt-get build-dep -a i386 wine-development". libxml-simple-perl was no longer listed as a conflict. With this result, I propose the following patch: --- control 2017-07-26 17:55:38.853728538 +1000 +++ control-new 2017-07-26 17:57:03.596078538 +1000 @@ -1,6 +1,7 @@ Package: libxml-simple-perl Version: 2.22-1 Architecture: all +Multi-Arch: foreign Maintainer: Debian Perl Group <pkg-perl-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org> Installed-Size: 170 Depends: perl, libxml-libxml-perl | libxml-sax-expat-perl, libxml- namespacesupport-perl, libxml-sax-perl -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.11.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_AU:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libxml-simple-perl depends on: ii libxml-libxml-perl 2.0128+dfsg-1+b1 ii libxml-namespacesupport-perl 1.11-1 ii libxml-sax-expat-perl 0.40-2 ii libxml-sax-perl 0.99+dfsg-2 ii perl 5.24.1-7 libxml-simple-perl recommends no packages. libxml-simple-perl suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
