This was an oversight and will be fixed in the next upload.

Bug#851481: linux-headers-4.9.0-1-amd64:amd64 not installable with 32bit userland

[Sven Hartge]

Source: linux
Version: 4.9.2-2
Severity: normal

Hi!

I am using a mixed system with 64bit Kernel and 32bit userland.

With linux-headers-4.8-0-2-amd64 this worked fine, I was able to install
the kernel headers and use dkms to compile out-of-tree modules such as
xtables-addons.

With linux-headers-4.9.0-1-amd64 switching its dependencies to
gcc-6:amd64 I am no longer able to do so.

And trying to install a 64bit gcc (and related tools) would effectively
uninstall half of my system.

Is running a 64bit system with 32bit userland no longer supported or did
I miss something obvious?

Grüße,
Sven.
