The problem is caused by the sed call in debian/rules says "usr/lib/<tripple>", while it wasn't like that in xml2-config script itself. [Impact] libxml2-dev is not M-A co-installable [Development Fix] libxml2 version 2.7.8.dfsg-9 in Debian Sid [Stable Fix] Change required is trivial, in debian/rules: - sed -i -e 's,/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH),/usr/lib,' debian/libxml2-dev/usr/bin/xml2-config + sed -i -e 's,/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH),/lib,' debian/libxml2-dev/usr/bin/xml2-config [Test Case] Enable M-A in testing environment (amd64 for instance), and try to install both libxml2-dev:i386 and libxml2-dev:amd64 which were newly built with the mentioned patch. If the action failed with something like './usr/bin/xml2-config' is different from the same file on the system, then the bug was not fixed. [Regression Potential] xml2-config reports the libdir is /usr/lib, while the actual ones are /usr/lib/<triplets>. This might break applications whose build system can't find libraries correctly in the previous path but relies on xml2-config's output. I recommend to use pkg-config instead of this script.
