[Bug 1034568] Re: build-essential shouldn't be Multi-Arch: foreign

[Steve Langasek]

Hello Adam, or anyone else affected,

Accepted build-essential into precise-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/build-
essential/11.5ubuntu2.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from
verification-needed to verification-done.  If it does not, change the
tag to verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing
will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

** Changed in: build-essential (Ubuntu Precise)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed

Title:
  build-essential shouldn't be Multi-Arch: foreign

Status in “build-essential” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “build-essential” source package in Precise:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  During precise development, build-essential was incorrectly marked
  Multi-Arch: foreign.  This directly contradicts the multi-arch cross-
  building spec, and broke when dpkg started properly implementing that
  spec in quantal.

  This bug has already been fixed in quantal, but the fix should be
  backported to precise for correctness (in case someone uses the
  quantal dpkg with the precise build-essential, or some other
  interesting combination).
