Package: libcppunit-dev
Version: 1.14.0-3
Severity: normal
Dear maintainers,
libcppunit-dev's control file does not currently specify "Multi-Arch: same."
I may be missing an important detail, but it seems that it could specify it
because the included libraries are installed in the right architecture-dependent
folder.
The current situation severely hinders the cross-compileability of libcppunit.
For example, when trying to cross-compile for arm64, an
apt-get install libcppunit-dev:arm64
will uninstall libcppunit-dev:amd64 (and libcppunit-1.x:amd64).
(Not using a separate sysroot for the cross-compilation and instead
installing other-architectural build dependencies on the host is
a bit yucky-ish, of course, but besides the point.)
I have verified that the libcppunit packages in Buster, Bullseye, Sid
lack a "Multi-Arch: same". Is this an omission, or am I simply missing
a crucial piece on why it cannot apply?
Thanks a lot for your attention.
Best regards,
Tobias

You at least might have missed that I don't care about Multi-Arch at
all. :-)
So anything which is Multi-Arch: is (if I didn't inherit) is result of a
bug report like this or someone else doing it where it still is
unnecessary ;-)

OK. Right.
Thanks, Closing. :)
