This is not specific to multiarch. If you enable a repository with random conflicts with your current base system and install a package from such repository you get into this situation. Foreign arch on multiarch system is one of such possible repositories. Third party repositories often cause similar issues. > > This renders aptitude painful on a multiarch enabled system (default in > oneiric). on any system with complex dependencies. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/831768 Title: aptitude cannot handle conflicts with multiarch enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/aptitude/+bug/831768/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
