[Bug 2012082] Re: gcc-multilib version doesn't follow gcc-11-multilib in security

[Michał Fita]

I think problem lies elsewhere and till date haven't been solved even if
`gcc-11-multilib` just works aside cross compilers installed.

Looks like duplicate of: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-
defaults/+bug/1300211

Xilinx (Canonical's partner) requires `gcc-multilib` installed for their
PetaLinux tools, while at the same time I need to cross-compile Debian
packages for the ARM64 target on Xilinx chip. This is little bit awkward
situation.

Title:
  gcc-multilib version doesn't follow gcc-11-multilib in security

Status in gcc-defaults package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have a tool that requires `gcc-multilib` to be installed on jammy.

  While I have `gcc-11-multilib` installed, an attempt to install `gcc-
  multilib` leads to suggestion some essential for me cross compilation
  gcc-11 packages are going to be removed, what doesn't make much sense.

  This leaves me in some kind of a limbo, where I have everything I need
  to work in place (technically) but behaviour of not updated meta
  package leads to problems.

  Could you, please, fix that?
