Package: debian-policy Version: 4.1.2.0 Severity: important As explained by Aurelian Jarno:
>> 9.1.1 >> Only the dynamic linker may install files to /lib64/. > How is that supposed to work for the multilib glibc? For example > libc6-amd64:i386 installs all its libraries into /lib64. We don't want > to install these files in the multiarch path, as they will collide with > the libc6:amd64 package. This is actually forbidden by the same > paragraph of the policy (and that's a good thing). > > In the long term we should get ready of multilib now that we have > multiarch, but it seems it's not something we are ready to do yet. The best fix appears to be to exempt libc from this requirement (confirmed in a later message). -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages debian-policy depends on: ii libjs-sphinxdoc 1.6.5-3 debian-policy recommends no packages.
