Package: golang-golang-x-text-dev
Version: 0.3.2-3
Tags: patch
User: debian-cr...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: cross-satisfiability
Control: affects -1 + src:abci src:acbuild src:aptly
Lots of packages tranistively use golang-golang-x-text-dev in
Build-Depends. I've given three examples above. Unfortunately, that
means that all of these packages cannot satisfy cross Build-Depends,
because Architecture: all packages cannot do that unless marked
Multi-Arch: foreign or annotated :native. The foreign marking is
reasonable here, because golang-golang-x-text-dev is a dependency-less
and maintainer-script-less package containing only go source and
compiled go modules (which still are architecture-independent).
Accordingly the multiarch hinter flags it for Multi-Arch: foreign.
Likely this is the first of a stream of bug reports asking for making
go libraries Multi-Arch: foreign. Note that once there is
architecture-dependent code involved (even as a dependency) the marking
is not the correct solution. We can only use it in simple situations
like golang-golang-x-text-dev. Please consider applying the attached
patch.
