Source: log4cplus Version: 1.0.4-1.2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, attempt to install the -dev package for armel (to get the static library for cross-building) on an amd64 system that already has the native version installed fails:
""" vilius@d21:~$ sudo apt-get install liblog4cplus-dev:armel Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

""" the armel package would replace the currently installed amd64 package. #801305 suggests there's been some work to enable multi-arch, so I tried building a backport from testing. Unfortunately, amd64 and armel packages of version 1.1.2-3.1 still replace one another, probably due to the missing architecture qualifier. After adding "Multi-Arch: same" headers to debian/control and rebuilding for both architectures I sucessfully co-installed for amd64 and armel. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
