Package: libicu-dev Version: 57.1-9 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
libicu-dev is not multi-arch aware, causing the i386 version to conflict with the amd64 one which makes it impossible to install both. As a result the /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libicu*.so symbolic links are missing so that developping 32 bit applications using this library is impossible on a 64 bit system. In turn this impacts Wine development as it needs to support both 32 and 64 bit Windows applications and needs libxml2-dev for that. libxml2-dev itself is multi-arch same but it depends on libicu-dev and thus it's impossible to install both versions of libxml2-dev at the same time. The lack of multi-arch support in libicu-dev also breaks multi-arch support in the following packages: fis-gtm-6.3-003a libboost-regex1.62-dev libcdr-dev libe-book-dev libharfbuzz-dev libical-dev libmspub-dev libvisio-dev libxslt1-dev. So the impact is quite wide ranging. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.16.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=fr:en_US (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages libicu-dev depends on: ii icu-devtools 57.1-9 ii libc6-dev [libc-dev] 2.27-3 ii libicu57 57.1-9 ii libstdc++-5-dev [libstdc++-dev] 5.4.1-4 ii libstdc++-6-dev [libstdc++-dev] 6.4.0-12 ii libstdc++-7-dev [libstdc++-dev] 7.3.0-17 libicu-dev recommends no packages.
