Public bug reported: [Impact] Marking alsa-base as M-A: foreign will allow i386 packages that depend on alsa-base to install on a amd64 system. Since alsa interfaces are architecture independent, foreign seems like the correct marking.
$ sudo apt-get install my-32-bit-app my-32-bit-app:i386 : PreDepends: alsa-base:i386 but it is not installable [Test Case] Install a 32-bit package that depends or pre-depends on alsa-base and have it properly install. [Regression Potential] Minimal as this change on affects multi-arch status only. ** Affects: alsa-base (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1126558 Title: Please mark alsa-base as Multi-Arch: foreign To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-base/+bug/1126558/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
