Package: multipath-tools Version: 0.8.5-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
While trying to convert QEMU's cross-build images to lci-tool I discovered installing multipath-tools:arm64 as a foreign architecture package would fail due to unsatisfied dependencies. Switching the cross policy to "native" works but of course now the .so files don't match the target build architecture. In common with other Debian packages I would expect development files to be split into a separate -dev package so they could be installed without requiring binaries to execute. -- Package-specific info: /etc/multipath.conf does not exist. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (900, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable-debug') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: arm64, armhf, i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-9-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_WARN Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages multipath-tools depends on: ii kpartx 0.8.5-2 ii libaio1 0.3.112-9 ii libc6 2.31-13+deb11u2 ii libdevmapper1.02.1 2:1.02.175-2.1 ii libjson-c5 0.15-2 ii libreadline8 8.1-1 ii libsystemd0 247.3-6 ii libudev1 247.3-6 ii liburcu6 0.12.2-1 ii lsb-base 11.1.0 ii sg3-utils-udev 1.45-1 ii udev 247.3-6 multipath-tools recommends no packages.
