[Struan Bartlett] [Python-modules-team] Debian Multiarch package issue: virtualenv and python3-virtualenv

Forwarding to debian-python mailing list from the Debian Python Modules
Team which most people don't look at.

Actually a bug report probably would be the best of of reporting this,
as it looks like it could be a bug.

Hello

We have been unable to install virtualenv and python3-virtualenv on Debian stretch/i386 with python3:amd64, without customising the former two packages, due to what appear to be minor package configuration issues.

We have resolved the issues in custom-built packages by:
- Adding a 'Multi-Arch: allowed' header to each of these two packages
- Removing the apparently surplus python3 dependency in python3-virtualenv, leaving only the python3:any dependency
- Modifying the python3 dependency in virtualenv, to make it python3:any too.
(please see example diffs below).

Please would you advise what additional action, if any, we need to take to raise these issue formally and see them fixed in future package releases?

Kind regards

Struan Bartlett
