[Android-tools-devel] Bug#982326: convert android-libbase-dev to Architecture: any

[Helmut Grohne]

Package: android-libbase-dev
Version: 1:10.0.0+r36-7
Tags: patch
User: debian-cross at lists.debian.org
Usertags: cross-satisfiability
Control: affects -1 + src:android-platform-build src:android-platform-frameworks-base src:android-platform-libnativehelper src:android-platform-system-extras src:android-platform-system-tools-aidl src:android-platform-system-tools-hidl

The affected packages cannot satisfy their cross Build-Depends, because
their transitive dependency on android-libbase-dev is not satisfiable.
In general, Architecture: all packages can never satisfy cross build
dependencies unless marked Multi-Arch: foreign or annotated :native. A
foreign marking would be fatal in this case, because it would mask the
architecture constraint and android-libbase would be installed for the
build architecture while requested for the host architecture. In a
similar vein, :native does not solve the problem. This is known as the
"multiarch interpreter problem" and the standard workaround is
converting affected packages to Architecture: any. Please consider
applying the attached patch.

I suspect that more binary packages from this source package are
affected by this issue. Likely and android-*-dev Arch: all package that
depends on an Arch: any package containing a shared library needs to be
converted. Can you handle that as well?
