Package: libdune-grid-dev
Version: 2.6.0-1+b1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
This concerns Debian Testing and Unstable:
* For the alpha, amd64, arm64, mips64el and ppc64el architectures only
version 2.6.0-1+b1 is available.
* For the armel, armhf, i386, mipsel and x32 architectures only
version 2.6.0-1 is available.
But libdune-grid-dev says that it breaks any version that's different. For
instance:
Breaks: libdune-grid-dev (!= 2.6.0-1+b1)
Thus, because the amd64 and i386 architectures (for instance) are not available in
the same version, they are not coinstallable, thus breaking multi-arch support.
Presumably at some point a new version will be available for all architectures,
which will fix this. But this illustrates that:
* Either the Breaks: statement should be revised. Maybe it should target releases
older than a specific version or could be removed.
* Or one should not just rebuild this package for a subset of the architectures to
avoid breaking multi-arch.
Note that libdune-grid-glue-dev and libdune-pdelab-dev suffer
from the same issue.
