Public bug reported: I need to build software for both AMD and ARM on one system (build-server) Therefore i want to install the libext2fs-dev:amd64 and libext2fs-dev:arm64 in parallel. Via apt install this doesn't work - it always wants to uninstall the other package
sudo apt install libext2fs-dev:arm64 ... The following packages will be REMOVED: libext2fs-dev I also cannot use e.g. libarchive-dev:arm64, because it depends on libext2fs-dev Diff of the data in the two packages (libext2fs- dev_1.47.0-2.4~exp1ubuntu4.1_amd64.deb vs libext2fs- dev_1.47.0-2.4~exp1ubuntu4.1_arm64.deb) shows no reason for this: (headers are the same, binaries are in architecture-specific folders) sudo diff --brief -sr ext2fs-dev-amd64/data ext2fs-dev-arm64/data Files ext2fs-dev-amd64/data/usr/include/e2p/e2p.h and ext2fs-dev-arm64/data/usr/include/e2p/e2p.h are identical Files ext2fs-dev-amd64/data/usr/include/ext2fs/bitops.h and ext2fs-dev-arm64/data/usr/include/ext2fs/bitops.h are identical Files ext2fs-dev-amd64/data/usr/include/ext2fs/ext2_err.h and ext2fs-dev-arm64/data/usr/include/ext2fs/ext2_err.h are identical Files ext2fs-dev-amd64/data/usr/include/ext2fs/ext2_ext_attr.h and ext2fs-dev-arm64/data/usr/include/ext2fs/ext2_ext_attr.h are identical Files ext2fs-dev-amd64/data/usr/include/ext2fs/ext2_fs.h and ext2fs-dev-arm64/data/usr/include/ext2fs/ext2_fs.h are identical Files ext2fs-dev-amd64/data/usr/include/ext2fs/ext2fs.h and ext2fs-dev-arm64/data/usr/include/ext2fs/ext2fs.h are identical Files ext2fs-dev-amd64/data/usr/include/ext2fs/ext2_io.h and ext2fs-dev-arm64/data/usr/include/ext2fs/ext2_io.h are identical Files ext2fs-dev-amd64/data/usr/include/ext2fs/ext2_types.h and ext2fs-dev-arm64/data/usr/include/ext2fs/ext2_types.h are identical Files ext2fs-dev-amd64/data/usr/include/ext2fs/ext3_extents.h and ext2fs-dev-arm64/data/usr/include/ext2fs/ext3_extents.h are identical Files ext2fs-dev-amd64/data/usr/include/ext2fs/hashmap.h and ext2fs-dev-arm64/data/usr/include/ext2fs/hashmap.h are identical Files ext2fs-dev-amd64/data/usr/include/ext2fs/qcow2.h and ext2fs-dev-arm64/data/usr/include/ext2fs/qcow2.h are identical Files ext2fs-dev-amd64/data/usr/include/ext2fs/tdb.h and ext2fs-dev-arm64/data/usr/include/ext2fs/tdb.h are identical Only in ext2fs-dev-arm64/data/usr/lib: aarch64-linux-gnu Only in ext2fs-dev-amd64/data/usr/lib: x86_64-linux-gnu Files ext2fs-dev-amd64/data/usr/share/doc/libext2fs2/html-info/libext2fs.html and ext2fs-dev-arm64/data/usr/share/doc/libext2fs2/html-info/libext2fs.html are identical Files ext2fs-dev-amd64/data/usr/share/doc/libext2fs2/libext2fs.texi.gz and ext2fs-dev-arm64/data/usr/share/doc/libext2fs2/libext2fs.texi.gz are identical ...
