On reflection, there are several factors contributing to the problem. Addressing any one of them would resolve the problem reported.
1. none of the Mir -dev packages are co-installable 2. libsdl2-dev should not depend on libmirclient-dev 3. SDL2 is being built with mirclient support on 18.10 1 & 2 have been the case since well before 16.04 and this issue has gone undetected. If there's a reason for /2/, it's a bad one. Regardless, we ought to address /1/. 3 is pointless and likely an oversight. I'm under the impression that SDL2 dropped mirclient support upstream, but I guess that hasn't filtered through yet. In any case mirclient lost GL support in 18.04 and will not support Nvidia eglstream drivers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mir in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1808060 Title: libmirclient causes multiarch SDL2 headers to conflict with each other Status in mir package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: libmirclient-dev makes impossible to install both libsdl2-dev and libsdl2-dev:i386 which is essential for anyone building game related software. Seeing mir not being used at all in any of the official Ubuntu flavors, I find it strange that it was considered an acceptable solution to break a common and important workflow in favor of an experimental display server. It's probably a minor packaging bug anyway, multi-arch development headers usually don't conflict with each other.
