Package: libgs9-common Version: 9.16~dfsg-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: rebootstrap Control: block 770266 by -1
libgs9-dev is not currently installable for non-native architectures, because it transitively depends on libgs9-common, which is arch:all and thus treated as native. As far as I can see, just marking libgs9-common as Multi-Arch: foreign would make libgs9-dev installable for non-native architectures without going the full road to make it fully multiarch. (Of course you still cannot install libgs9 for multiple arches.) So I am splitting the multiarch bug #770266 into this easier piece and attach a patch for it. Helmut
