Bug#677884: xkb-data: should be Multi-Arch: foreign

June 17th, 2012 - 09:50 am ET by Stepan Golosunov | Report spam
Package: xkb-data
Version: 2.5.1-1
Severity: normal
User: multiarch-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: multiarch

As xkb-data is an "Architecture: all" package with no dependencies or
maintainer scripts, it should be marked "Multi-Arch: foreign".

Otherwise, foreign-architecture xserver-xorg won't be installable:

% LANG=C sudo apt-get -d install xorg:amd64 xserver-xorg:amd64 xserver-xorg-core:amd64 libaudit0:amd64 libxfont1:amd64 xinit:amd64 xauth:amd64 x11-xkb-utils:amd64

Because of course you *need* a foreign X server?
