Hi, I have a question regarding marking golang-github-danverbraganza-varcaser-dev Multi-Arch: foreign what's the purpose of it? I did find an explanation from https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO: > If a package is marked 'Multi-Arch: foreign', then it can satisfy > dependencies of a package of a different architecture (e.g 'debhelper:amd64' > will satisfy a dependency on debhelper for any-architecture package). Yet, I'm unable to digest that -- e.g., why an amd64 architecture needs dependencies of a package from amd64? Helmut's explanation was: > easygen cannot be cross built from source, because its dependency on golang-github-danverbraganza-varcaser-dev is not satisfiable. In general, Architecture: all packages can never satisfy cross Build-Depends unless marked Multi-Arch: foreign or annotated :native. I guess I don't understand the concept and implication of Debian's cross built, as I see that easygen is being cross built without 'Multi-Arch: foreign', yet golang-github-danverbraganza-varcaser-dev is not, despite having the 'Multi-Arch: foreign' . https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=easygen vs. https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=golang-github-danverbraganza-varcaser Please help.
