Bug#782802: python-apt: deprecate MULTI_ARCH_NONE in favor of MULTI_ARCH_NO
Package: python-apt
Version: 0.9.3.11
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
python-apt uses an identifier for Multi-Arch:no called MULTI_ARCH_NONE
which suggests that the value for "neither same, foreign nor allowed"
would be "none" and not "no". This is especially worrisome because apt
itself as well as the multiarch-spec after some erroneous edits listed
"none" as the correct value. See #759099, #732648 and the discussion
starting with <20140903082840.3685.79761@hoothoot>. And even after this
had been solved, people continued to confuse "no" and "none" (see
<[🔎] 20150417092706.GC9295@crossbow>).
To finally purge the wrong value "none" it would be great if python-apt
would deprecate the value MULTI_ARCH_NONE in favor of MULTI_ARCH_NO
Thanks!
cheers, josch
