Package: libunity9
Version: 7.1.4+19.04.20190319-6+b1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
While cross-grading an i386 system to amd64, I tried to co-install both
i386 and amd64 versions of libunity9. This should be possible as they are
both marked "Multi-Arch: same". However, dpkg complains:
wraith:~/crossgrade# dpkg -i libunity9_7.1.4+19.04.20190319-6+b1_i386.deb

Errors were encountered while processing:

/usr/bin/unity-scope-loader is indeed an i386 executable in the i386
package and an amd64 executable in the amd64 package.
I think either unity-scopes-loader should be removed from the libunity9
package or libunity9 should be marked as "Multi-Arch: no".
