Dear Maintainer,
I am preparing a C++ toolkit docker container that supports multiple debian
architectures
for cross compiling. My goal is libpoco-dev, but after drilling down I see
that subject
package is why the higher level package architectures cannot be installed
concurrently.
Note that the package manager de-installs prior architectures before the next
architecture
is attempted.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Run the following Dockerfile with "docker build":
FROM debian:stable
# A package to test for MultiArch support, typically limited to libraries only.
ENV PKG="libmariadb-dev-compat"
# A set of machine architectures for testing MultiArch support
ENV ARCHS="amd64 armhf i386 arm64"
# Extend the architectures known to APT via --add-architecture, then install
# $PKG for each of these architectures
RUN for arch in $ARCHS; do \
dpkg --add-architecture $arch; \
done && \
apt-get update && \
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install \
--yes --no-install-recommends apt-utils && \
for arch in $ARCHS; do \
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install \
--yes --no-install-recommends $PKG:$arch \
; \
done
CMD ["bash"]
* What was the outcome of this action?
During the docker build, there are lines saying that prior architecture's
packages of the same name are being removed, for example:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libmariadb-dev:i386 libmariadb-dev-compat:i386
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected that with proper multi-arch support, multiple architectures could be
installed
concurrently into the system, in this case a docker container.
