Public bug reported: We are working on getting multiarch metadata correct throught the archive. This package needs to be marked 'Multi-Arch: foreign' for dependencies and build-depencies to work correctly in all cases.
Any package 'X' build-depending on less cannot be cross-built because apt-get build-dep -a<arch> cannot satisfy X's build-dependencies until Multi-Arch: foreign is added to less's control file, to indicate that less from any available arch will satisfy the dependency. 59 packages in Ubuntu cannot be cross-built until this patch is applied. ** Affects: less (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: less (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Tags: cross multiarch ** Patch added: "less-456-1multiarch.diff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1081611/+attachment/3440275/+files/less-456-1multiarch.diff ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #693318 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=693318 ** Also affects: less (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=693318 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1081611 Title: less: Add multiarch metadata To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/less/+bug/1081611/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
