In any case, this is a feature request that libext2fs-dev be a package which supports multiarch. There is significant, non-trivial work that would be needed to support this, which is documented here:
https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation If someone wants to send a clean, supportable patch, I'll take a look at it as the Debian upstream maintainer. However, my considered opinion is that It's Not Worth it. And I say this as someone who is regularly building amd64, arch64, and i386 file system test appliances using an amd64 build server, and I using build chroots. If you think that the extra time to build the amd64 binaries using qumu emulation (see the setup-buildchroot script which will set that up automatically) is not worth, consider how much $$$ it would cost to pay a software engineer to make libext2fs-dev and related packages multi-arch capable. Hardware is cheap, and software engineers are expensive, and life is short. In any case, this is something that I as a volunteer have ***zero*** interest in implementing. Even if you paid me my hourly rate, I have better things to do with my time.... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2117696 Title: libext2fs-dev installation of ARM64 version in parallel to AMD64 not possible To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/2117696/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
