Package: libqtcore4
Version: 4:4.8.5+dfsg-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

The recent update for libqtcore4 (version 4:4.8.5+dfsg-1) brings in a new
dependency on qtcore4-l10n, which appears to be an arch-independent package,
however, on multiarch systems, the i386 package does not recognize the
availability of qtcore4-l10n, and therefore cannot be upgraded. This in turn
prevents the amd64 package from being updated (unless one is willing to remove
the i386 packages and any packages depending on them, ie. Skype), as well as
preventing all of the packages depending on libqtcore4 from being updated.

I hope you can find a way to remedy this situation, for the time being I will
have to hold off on these updates, since I would prefer to keep Skype
installed.

P.S. A similar issue occurred when the Pango libraries underwent a packaging
change and the original libpango1.0-0 package was made into an arch-independent
transitional package, ultimately this did not work (the i386 packages would not
recognize that the arch-independent transitional package existed and was
installed) and the package was split into separate arch-specific packages
again. This may, unfortunately, be the route you have to take, unless someone
can figure out why i386 packages seem to be unable to recognize arch-
independent dependencies on multiarch systems.
