[Bug 1300211] [NEW] Can't install both gcc-multilib and gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Problem is on Ubuntu 14.04.  Earlier versions of Ubuntu don't seem to
have this issue and the two packages can happily coexist.

When I run e.g.,
apt-get install gcc-multilib, it uninstalls the ARM compilers.
