 Hello:
 
 When using an amd64 system and installing a i386 package that depends
 on locales, locales-all:i386 gets installed instead since locales is
 not Multi-Arch: foreign.
 
 The locales-all package is huge so this would help.
 
 The change is fairly trivial since the package is already arch: all.
 

locales are not compatible between all architectures, so I don't think
we should do that until that is fixed or another solution is found.

 Oh ok, but why is the package currently arch = all then? Maybe I'm
 missing something from that reply.
 

The locale are compiled at install time, hence the arch = all. But once
compiled, they can't be used on all architecture, so they are not
Multiarch safe.

Oh I see what the issue is now thanks for the quick replies.
