(how is it possible that my spamfilter eats valid important bugreports, but mails with strange words (aka tags) added to these bugs are considered ham…)
So now that i had a short look at it i think we need to change the lockstep handling introduced to fix debbug 618288 (in APT 0.8.15) a bit further by doing the unpack first for all packages which are (now) M-A:same and already installed and only after that work on the non- installed silbings. Attached patch should do this from my branch, but i don't have the time to test that properly currently. You might need to backport the other packagemanager.cc fix in my branch, too (i guess lp will establish the link soon). I will try to work that out with Michael then he is back in action (and i am not mostly occupied by exams). ** Patch added: "prefer unpack of installed (now) M-A:same packages" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/835625/+attachment/2375963/+files/835625-multiarch-lockstep-installed-first.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/835625 Title: apt may try to unpack a foreign-arch multiarch library before the native package is at a multiarch version, prohibited by dpkg To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/835625/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
