Package: libtiff4-dev Version: 3.9.6-7 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The amd64 version conflicts with the i386 one which makes it impossible to install both. As a result the /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libtiff.so symbolic link is missing so that developping 32bit applications using this library is impossible on a 64bit system. Furthermore this development package does not seem to be multiarch aware as there is no Multi-Arch field. My understanding is that as long as there are no architecture-dependent headers there is no obstacle (i.e. no toolchain issue) to tagging the development package as 'Multi-Arch: same'. The symbolic link (and any static libraries) should be no issue as they are already in the architecture-qualified folders. A good model for this appears to be the libx11-dev package. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libtiff4-dev depends on: ii libc6-dev [libc-dev] 2.13-35 ii libjbig-dev 2.0-2 ii libjpeg8-dev [libjpeg-dev] 8d-1 ii libtiff4 3.9.6-7 ii libtiffxx0c2 3.9.6-7 ii zlib1g-dev 1:1.2.7.dfsg-13 libtiff4-dev recommends no packages. libtiff4-dev suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
