Package: parted Version: 3.2-23 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
In a multi-arch setup, the "parted" package should be able to satisfy dependencies from other packages, as the binaries contained in "parted" can be used regardless of the architecture of the depending packet. For instance, when installing an i386 package which depends on "parted" on amd64, the package manager should not force installation of the i386 variant of parted, but use the (potentially already installed) amd64 variant of parted. See <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec> for details, and "iproute2" for a package that already does this. Regards, Rotty
