Hello<br>
<br>
We have been unable to install virtualenv and python3-virtualenv on
Debian stretch/i386 with python3:amd64, without customising the
former two packages, due to what appear to be minor package
configuration issues.<br>
<br>
We have resolved the issues in custom-built packages by:<br>
- Adding a 'Multi-Arch: allowed' header to each of these two
packages<br>
- Removing the apparently surplus python3 dependency in
python3-virtualenv, leaving only the python3:any dependency<br>
- Modifying the python3 dependency in virtualenv, to make it
python3:any too.<br>
(please see example diffs below).<br>
<br>
Please would you advise what additional action, if any, we need to
take to raise these issue formally and see them fixed in future
package releases?<br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>
<br>
Struan Bartlett<br>
