Hi Spacewalkers,

Good news. Code to also import the important "Multi-Arch" header from .deb 
packages has been merged today (see 
https://github.com/spacewalkproject/spacewalk/pull/697).

So in future (nightlies or maybe spacewalk 2.10(??)), you're able to 
synchronize the .deb repositories directly within Spacewalk and don't need to 
run a script to inject the missing "Multi-Arch" header afterwards.

But you still need to sign the "Release" file with "gpg".

Yet there is still a drawback. All already imported Debian packages will still 
miss this information within the database.

Hence there are two possibilities.

1. Reimport all Debian packages. That cous take a long time.

2. Someone could write a cool script that adds the missing "Multi-Arch" value 
for each .deb package already imported into the database.

The new column "multi_arch" will be stored within the "rhnPackage" table.

Maybe when I have more time, I'll think about option 2.

Thanks to the Spacewalk team that merged the code.

Regards
Robert
