Package: libalgorithm-diff-xs-perl Version: 0.04-8+b4 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: fileconflict
Hi, this is an unfortunate case of Multi-Arch craziness. At some point, the package's content was multiarch-counpackable and therefore the multiarch hinter suggested adding Multi-Arch: same. This was then turned into a commit by the Debian janitor and duly included. Unfortunately, now the file /usr/share/man/man3/Algorithm::Diff::XS.3pm.gz is different between architectures and as a result unpacking can fail. I talk about unpacking rather than installing here as coinstalling is prevented by the perl dependency. Meanwhile the hinter has been changed to no longer suggest the addition of M-A:same in situations where a dependency (such as perl) will prevent coinstallation and therefore the hinter will not resuggest the addition for future uploads even if that file happens to become equal across architectures again. Please drop M-A:same and excuse the problems endured with this part of automated tooling. Helmut
