[Android-tools-devel] Bug#980644: android-sdk-platform-tools-common: no Multi-Arch annotation prevents adb upgrade

[Thorsten Glaser]

Package: android-sdk-platform-tools-common
Version: 28.0.2+2
Severity: serious
Justification: might not be as severe but fails a release goal
X-Debbugs-Cc: tg at mirbsd.de

I cannot upgrade adb:i386 on my x32 system because adb:i386
Depends android-sdk-platform-tools-common, however, because
android-sdk-platform-tools-common is an arch:all package that
does not have a Multi-Arch annotation it is considered to be
of the host architecture (x32) which does not fulfil the
dependency.

Looking at dpkg -L android-sdk-platform-tools-common | sort,
it is probably safe for “Multi-Arch: foreign” which will make
adb installable again.

This issue hits, even using only release architectures, if
installing a foreign-architecture adb (for example because
adb isn’t available for the main architecture), which is why
I chose the severity, but feel free to downgrade to important
if you don’t agree.
