Bug#746033: libxkbcommon0:i386 not installable on multiarch
Package: libxkbcommon0
Version: 0.4.0-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
libxkbcommon0:i386 isn't installable on multiarch (amd64), because it depends
on a i386 xkb-data package, which doesn't exist (xkb-data is actually an
"all"-architecture package). This makes impossible to use some i386
applications on mutiarch (say, anything that depends on SDL2), as they have
libxkbcommon0 as a dependency, which cannot be installed because of this issue:
Sample output:
tomman@himawari:~$ LANG=en sudo apt-get install libxkbcommon0:i386
