** Description changed: - In the M-A implementation of version 2.7.8.dfsg-5.1ubuntu1, + [Background] In the M-A implementation of version 2.7.8.dfsg-5.1ubuntu1, /usr/bin/xml2-config still contains M-A tripples, which is troublesome when the package libxml2-dev is marked as M-A: same. 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. - Change required is trivial, in debian/rules: + [Impact] libxml2-dev is not M-A co-installable + + [Development Fix] libxml2 version 2.7.8.dfsg-9 in Debian Sid + + [Stable Fxi] 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.

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.
