Title: should be "Multi-Arch: foreign" to satisfy deps when installing a foreign architecture pkg Status in “emacsen-common” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I wanted to install coq:armel on Ubuntu 12.04 armhf system (https://answers.launchpad.net/ac100/+question/218291 ), but emacsen- common was an obstacle: # apt-get install coq:armel Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: coq:armel : Depends: coq-theories:armel (= 8.3.pl4+dfsg-1) but it is not installable Depends: emacsen-common:armel but it is not installable Depends: libcoq-ocaml-vx397:armel Recommends: coqide:armel but it is not going to be installed or proofgeneral:armel but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Can't the emacsen-common package be labelled "Multi-Arch: foreign" to satisfy deps when installing a foreign architecture pkg? After I edited /var/lib/dpkg/{status,available} and /var/lib/apt/Packages*, this obstacle was gone -- http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/60287/4319 .
