Bug#891803: [PATCH] cracklib2: please remove the ":native" annotation from the cracklib-runtime build-dependency for cross-builds
Source: cracklib2
Version: 2.9.2-5
Severity: normal

Hello,
the cracklib2 build-dependency list in debian/control currently
contains the following entry:
Build-Depends: cracklib-runtime:native <cross>
The cracklib-runtime package is (correctly) marked as "Multi-Arch:
foreign". Because of this the ":native" annotation in the
cracklib2 build-depends needs to be removed as it creates an
unresolvable cross-dependency due to the fact that dpkg doesn't
consider M-A:foreign packages as valid candidates for fulfilling a
dependency with a ":native" annotation.
For more information regarding this please cf.
https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/MissingRationale#Why_do_M-A:foreign_packages_not_satisfy_:native_qualified_dependencies_in_build-dependencies.3F
Attached is a corresponding patch against the current
pkg-cracklib git head.
Regards,
Karsten
