Bug#660015: popularity-contest: fails to cope with multiarch

2012-02-15 Thread Marc Dequènes (Duck) 

Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.53
Severity: important
Tags: patch


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.


Regards.

Hello Mark,

I think this is a duplicate of bug #659782.
