I've started another mail summarizing the viable options from the thread, which I'll send once I wake up, too tired right now to finish it. In any case I just wanted to send this note meanwhile. Any front-end that is going to pass arch-qualified package names to dpkg, to make sure there's no ambiguity due to multiple possible instances for example, will need to make sure it's talking to a multiarch enabled dpkg, by way of «dpkg --assert-multi-arch». It should then check that the return code is either 0 (success), 1 (command known, but dpkg not yet configured), or 2 (command unknown, no multiarch support at all). regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-dpkg-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
