So libxml2 has MA-skew in jessie due to binnmus: 2.9.1+dfsg1-4+b2: arm64 2.9.1+dfsg1-4+b1: ppc64el s390x 2.9.1+dfsg1-4: amd64 armel armhf i386 kfreebsd-amd64 kfreebsd-i386 mips mipsel powerpc This breaks co-installation of libraries for any reason (usually cross-building for this particular arch combo). Because libxml2 is quite a low-level library its co-installability is important for cross-building many packages, and for bootstrapping. This can't be fixed by binnmu's in unstable because libxml2 in unstable is a different version: 2.9.2+dfsg1-1+b1. If that version (or some other fix for 765722) is due to migrate, then this issue will become moot, and it looks like that really should. The least-intrusive fix for this that I am aware of is: nmu libxml2_2.9.1+dfsg1-4 . amd64 armel armhf i386 kfreebsd-amd64 kfreebsd-i386 mips mipsel powerpc . -m "Rebuild for multiarch sync" then nmu libxml2_2.9.1+dfsg1-4 . amd64 armel armhf i386 kfreebsd-amd64 kfreebsd-i386 mips mipsel powerpc ppc64el s390x . -m "Rebuild for multiarch sync" In future (stretch) we hope that https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=758616 will be fixed and this sort of thing will not be necessary. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.7 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
