Bug#895518: libsdl2-dev is not Multi-Arch compatible

[Francois Gouget]

Sorry, I mixed things up.

On Debian Testing libsdl2-dev (2.0.8+dfsg1-1) supports multiarch and 
it's libxkbcommon-dev that ruins it for everyone (see bug 893855).

But I'm also working on a Debian 9.4 VM and there libsdl2-dev 
2.0.5+dfsg1-2 does not support multiarch.

I got confused and thought both issues had the same source. So while I'd 
still really like libsdl2-dev to support multiarch in Debian Stable 
(because that's what people are told to use after all and it would be 
consistent with point 4 of the Social Contract[1]), I can understand 
if this bug gets closed.

libsdl2-dev itself is marked as Multi-Arch: same so it could be co-installed
across multiple architectures,
However some of its dependencies maybe not be co-installable breaking
this for libsdl2-dev.

This can't be fixed in the libsdl2 package.
Could you please file bugs against those package instead?
apt will tell you which package prevents the installation.

Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The development package is not multiarch aware which causes the amd64
version to conflict with the i386 one, thus making it impossible to
install both.

As a result the /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libSDL2.so symbolic link is
missing so that developping 32 bit applications that use this library
is impossible on a 64 bit system.

In particular this makes development of the Wine project really painful
on Debian as Wine really needs both 32 and 64 bit support since most
64 bit Windows applications have a 32 bit installer.
