Control: reassign -1 debconf 1.5.49 Control: affects -1 debian-installer Hi,
thanks for your report. Unfortunately, due to attachment size, it wasn't
delivered to debian-boot@; so I only saw it when looking at the huge
-boot bug list, sorry about that. :/

AFAICT this is due to the way lines are split up:
| sub handle_status ($$$) {
| my ($from, $to, $line) = @_;
| my ($status, $pkg, $percent, $description) = split ':', $line, 4;
| …
| $percent = ($percent * $len / 100 + $min);
multiarch means you get arch-qualified package ($pkg:$arch), which
breaks the assumption made above. I'm therefore reassigning this bug
report to debconf. Same code in 1.5.49 (wheezy) and 1.5.42 (current
sid).
