Not a bug. Being architecture all or architecture any is a property of the version as a package can change from any to all (and back) between versions. The stanzas in the extended file refer to all versions instead, which means that arch:all is the same as arch:native, so this is correct.
Also, where is the bug? The extended file is an internal state file, so as long as we parse it correctly, everything is fine. If you need the info included in that file, ask e.g. "apt-mark" for it. Nobody knows if the next version of apt would be renaming the file, be binary or use a mysql database to store that info instead (okay, the later is unlikely… as in: Over my dead body!) ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1369259 Title: /var/lib/apt/extended_states registers packages with the architecture all as the system architecture To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1369259/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
