I don't think this is true. The problem packages are: gcc-multilib which provides: /usr/include/asm /usr/share/doc/gcc-multilib
And the following 3 arm packages: gcc-4.8-arm-linux-gnueabihf which provides /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-4.8 /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-ar-4.8 /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-nm-4.8 /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-ranlib-4.8 /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcov-4.8 /usr/lib/gcc-cross/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.8/collect2 /usr/lib/gcc-cross/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.8/libgomp.spec /usr/lib/gcc-cross/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.8/lto-wrapper /usr/lib/gcc-cross/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.8/lto1 /usr/share/doc/gcc-4.8-arm-linux-gnueabihf /usr/share/doc/gcc-4.8-arm-linux-gnueabihf-base/NEWS.gz /usr/share/doc/gcc-4.8-arm-linux-gnueabihf-base/NEWS.html /usr/share/doc/gcc-4.8-arm-linux-gnueabihf-base/README.Bugs /usr/share/doc/gcc-4.8-arm-linux-gnueabihf-base/README.ssp /usr/share/doc/gcc-4.8-arm-linux-gnueabihf-base/changelog.gz /usr/share/doc/gcc-4.8-arm-linux-gnueabihf-base/changelog.linaro.gz /usr/share/doc/gcc-4.8-arm-linux-gnueabihf-base/gcc/changelog.gz /usr/share/doc/gcc-4.8-arm-linux-gnueabihf-base/gomp/changelog.gz /usr/share/man/man1/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-4.8.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-ar-4.8.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-nm-4.8.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-ranlib-4.8.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcov-4.8.1.gz gcc-4.8-multilib-arm-linux-gnueabihf which provides: /usr/share/doc/gcc-4.8-multilib-arm-linux-gnueabihf and gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf which provides: /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcov /usr/share/doc/gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf /usr/share/man/man1/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcov.1.gz All those file lists are generated by apt-file Also confirmed the above by running the following sequence of commands: 38 cd / 39 apt-get remove gcc-multilib gcc-4.8-arm-linux-gnueabihf gcc-4.8-multilib-arm-linux-gnueabihf gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf 40 find . -type f > neither 41 apt-get install gcc-multilib 42 find . -type f > i386 43 apt-get remove gcc-multilib gcc-4.8-arm-linux-gnueabihf gcc-4.8-multilib-arm-linux-gnueabihf gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf 45 apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf 46 find . -type f > arm 48 diff neither i386 49 diff neither arm The output of "diff neither i386" and "diff neither arm" contain no overlaps. Do you mind reassessing this?
