Package: libenchant-2-dev Version: 2.8.16+dfsg-4 Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: cross-satisfiability Control: affects -1 + src:abiword
abiword cannot satisfy its cross Build-Depends, because its dependency on libenchant-2-dev is not satisfiable. In general, Architecture: all packages can never satisfy cross Build-Depends unless marked Multi-Arch: foreign or annotated :native. Since libenchant-2-dev is a transitional package, it should have the same Architecture and Multi-Arch value as the target package. Doing so resolves the problem for abiword. I'm attaching a patch for your convenience. Helmut
