Subject: Missing Multi-Arch: foreign

Date: Sun, 18 Nov 2012 20:11:21 +0000

Package: dkms
Version: 2.2.0.3-1.2
Severity: normal

dkms is arch:all, it can satisfy dependencies for foreign packages.
However, for compatibility, dependencies and recommendations from such
a package are by default interpreted as being satisfied only by an
arch:all or an arch:native package.  (Also, it cannot satisfy
dependencies from a foreign arch-dependent package, as its own
dependencies won't match the architecture of the dependent.)

In the case of dkms, the recommendations of linux-headers and
linux-image can result in unnecessary installation of native packages
when an installed foreign package is suitable.  This will become more
important in jessie as I hope to drop the redundant amd64 kernel
flavour from i386.

Please add 'Multi-Arch: foreign' to the control file to override these
restrictions, as they are not needed.

Ben.

This is actually a problem in wheezy as fglrx-modules-dkms:i386 does not
support the amd64 flavour (see #651775) and fglrx-modules-dkms:amd64 is
not installable on i386.
