Bug#870546: libpff: hardcoded Pre-Depends on multiarch-support
Source: libpff Version: 20120802-5 Tags: sid buster patch User: debian-gl...@lists.debian.org Usertags: multiarch-support-removal Dear Maintainer, The multiarch-support package has been introduced with squeeze so that packages using the multiarch libraries can Pre-Depends on it to make sure the multiarch path ares supported by the dynamic linker. As dist-upgrades from such a distant release are not supported, the Pre-Depends can now be dropped and then the package removed from the archive. Most of the packages added this Pre-Depends through debhelper and the misc:Pre-Depends substvar, so a change in debhelper [1] was enough to get rid of it. However it appears that your package uses a hardcoded Pre-Depends, thus it needs to be removed manually. You will find a patch attached to do so. Please apply it as soon as possible as the multiarch-support package will be removed from the archive for buster. Failing to do so will therefore make your package uninstallable. In case you don't have time to do so, don't hesitate to ask for a NMU.
