Hi Hugh, I'm taking a look at these patches now, prompted by the fact that Ubuntu's incomplete multiarch transition for libfreetype6-dev has broken at least one reverse-dependency in contrib (astromenace).

The primary concern is with packages that *build*-depend on libfreetype6-dev; there are far more than 41 of those, I count 243 in main alone. Are you willing to do a rebuild test of these reverse-dependencies against libfreetype6-dev with freetype-config removed, to verify that none of them regress? > Please remove this interface from the package, so that we can move forward > with marking libfreetype6-dev as Multi-Arch: same. > Also, freetype2/freetype/config/ftconfig.h conflicts between arches and > will need a resolution. Matthias Klose suggested one possible patch in > #666761. That particular patch is the one in Ubuntu which regresses the astromenace build.

However, that means a bit of fiddling in builds/unix/configure.ac, so I'm ok to proceed with this approach for now. > --- debian/libfreetype6-dev.install 2017-08-27 19:46:36.000000000 +1000 > +++ debian/libfreetype6-dev.install 2017-08-27 19:51:15.455532188 +1000 > @@ -1,8 +1,6 @@ > -usr/bin/freetype-config > usr/include/ > usr/lib/*/*.so > usr/lib/*/*.la > usr/lib/*/*.a > usr/lib/*/pkgconfig/ > usr/share/aclocal/ > -/usr/share/man/man1/freetype-config.1 This still needs checking to be sure it doesn't regress reverse-build-dependencies.
