This is already supported – even in apt/wheezy – so I wonder how you come to the conclusion that it is ignored. It is commit cef094c2ec8 if you want to have a look and/or don't trust me, but until further notice I will close the bug as resolved because of this. If you can demonstrate that it doesn't work I am all ears of course. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEWARE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just that APT is supporting it doesn't make it magically supported by everyone or even provides even the slightest hint that anyone will try to support it, too (MultiArch itself being the best example). So I have no idea at the moment what the status quo is in all the other software dealing with dependencies! Attached is a small apt testcase with which I have checked that dpkg supports it, but I have only run it on sid. (if you want to run it yourself, build apt and run the script in /path/to/apt-source-tree/test/integration/ ) Not even the slightest idea what lintian/dak/buildds/… will make of it. Note also that to the best of my knowledge this is documented/specified nowhere. The MultiArchSpec [1] mentions it only as future work area. APT supports it mainly because it was ridiculously easy to do it as the heavy lifting is actually needed to support the non-specific conflicts. (I am reasonably sure I had support for it in 2010 already, but broke it while refactoring and just reintroduced it in 2012 with a test) Best regards David Kalnischkies [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec#Architecture-specific_Conflicts.2BAC8-Replaces
