Coin,
I got this reported by cron:
/etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest:
Package `libc6-i686' is not installed.
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
In the Read dpkg database of installed packages part of
/usr/sbin/popularity-contest, the call to dpkg-query report a list
of packages like this:
install ok installed libc6-i686
Unfortunately, the call to dpkg -L pkg in proc_pkgs() fails
because indeed libc6-i686, which is libc6-i686:amd64 on this host,
does not exist while libc6-i686:i386 does.
I guess being conservative is the safest choice on the dpkg's side
and using an updated format to include the architecture is a very
easy change for applications migrating to the multiarch world. The
small attached patch seems to solve this issue.
Hello Mark,
I think this is a duplicate of bug #659782.
