Re: [PATCH] Support :any architecture qualifiers for multiarch
* Colin Watson <cjwatson@ubuntu.com>, 2013-09-16, 15:02:
(CCing debian-python in case anyone is wondering what those spurious entries
for Python packages in update_excuses.html are about.)
I wish I had learned about such changes from this mailing list, not from bug
reports against lintian, or from excuses files.
Also, did I miss the moment when multi-arch stopped being opt-in and become
obligatory?
dh-python recently started using this syntax [2], and as a result we're seeing
lots of this kind of thing in excuses:
i18nspector/i386 unsatisfiable Depends: python3:any (>= 3.2.3-3~)
Fun, apt thinks that wheezy's python3 satisfies the dependency, but dpkg
disagrees:
$ sudo apt-get install -q -t wheezy i18nspector/unstable
