Package: java-package Version: 0.62 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I ran into user on IRC attempting to create a jre deb on an amd64 system. They had an issue where their jre deb was depending on libc6-amd64 which is an i386 arch package. The dependency could not be resolved so the resulting package was uninstallable. I think this is because dpkg was looking for a amd64 arch candidate. My system didn't produce this issue until I installed libc6-amd64 and ran java-package again. The user and I were able to produce packages with working depends if libc6-amd64 was removed. I'm not sure why it was installed on their system to begin with. #739758 seems to indicate it is undesireable for libc6-amd64 to be installed on amd64 systems. I was able to reproduce the issue on a jessie and stretch system. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages java-package depends on: ii build-essential 12.3 ii debhelper 10.2.5 ii dpkg-dev 1.18.23 ii fakeroot 1.21-3.1 ii libasound2 1.1.3-5 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.7+b1 ii libgl1-mesa-glx 13.0.6-1+b2 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.31-2 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxslt1.1 1.1.29-2.1 ii libxtst6 2:1.2.3-1 ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.1.4-1+b2 ii unzip 6.0-21 java-package recommends no packages.
