Package: libomp5-7
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I have a number of amd64 machines on which I have perfectly working
multiarch installations, namely main distro amd64, run time libraries in
i386 versions as well, a bunch of i386 applications. The libomp5-7
packages, both amd64 and i386 versions, were pulled in as dependencies by
the non-free libmkl packages (but that's not really relevant).
Unfortunately, since libomp5-7 installs the actual libs under the directory
/usr/lib/llvm-7/lib, both amd64 and i386 versions try to install their
respective different versions of the library with exactly the same file name.
Would it be complicated to install just the runtime libraries under the
standard multiarch-compatible /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu and
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu directories, so that they can be both simultaneously
installed without conflicts? This would be desirable for any runtime library,
and in particular one which is likely to be pulled in by anything compiled by
llvm. I will happily provide help with this, if needed and requested.
I probably won't spend time on this anytime soon, so yeah, would be great if 
you could try to provide a patch. :)

Thanks
S
