[Aptitude-devel] Bug#768823: aptitude: Does not support foreign-architecture qualifiers in dependencies

[Ralf Jung]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.11-1+b1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

aptitude does not seem to support foreign-architetcure qualifiers in dependencies:
Just compare "aptitude show gcc-4.9-arm-linux-gnueabihf" with
"apt show gcc-4.9-arm-linux-gnueabihf". The interactive UI also does not show
the qualifiers.

This is probably related to #699074, which talks about build-dependencies.

Kind regards
Ralf
