Hi Martin,
In Ubuntu, we are in the process of moving the i386 architecture to a
compatibility-only layer on amd64. We are keeping libblockdev on i386
because it's needed for udisks2, but the libblockdev-mpath* and
libblockdev-plugins-all packagen built from this source have dependencies on
other packages that are not being kept as part of the compatibility library
set (multipath-tools) and are not needed by udisks2.
We would like to drop these binary packages rather than keeping them around
in the Ubuntu archive and uninstallable. Would you please consider applying
the attached patch, or something like it, to omit building these binary
packages on Ubuntu?
Thanks for considering,
