Yes I know but section 2.6 will be more a philosophical introduction to multi-arch something along Multi‑Arch in Debian is the mechanism that allows a single system to install and use packages from multiple architectures at the same time. It extends the architecture context so that libraries, headers, and binaries from foreign architectures (like i386 on an amd64 machine) can coexist cleanly without file conflict. Individual packages declare their support for this feature, and influences the way dependencies are handled. Moreinformation could be found in section 5.6.34 thanks holger for documenting. > > >
