Package: grep Version: 2.6.3-3 Severity: normal Grep is an architecture-independent tool and thus should be marked Multi-arch foreign. This allows the dependency system to understand that in cross situations or installing i386 packages on amd64 systems the native (build-arch) version of grep satisfies a dep on grep.
Actual dependencies on grep are rare because it is essential, but they are still possible, either in error (e.g. lotus notes), or because of a versioned dep, so we should add this field to avoid breakage in those cases. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.7 APT prefers oldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32.33-kvm-i386-20111128-dirty (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages grep depends on: ii dpkg 1.15.8.13 Debian package management system ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-6 Manage installed documentation in ii libc6 2.11.3-4 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib grep recommends no packages.
