[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#1080093: Package node-minimatch (9.0.3-5) misses dependency in Multi-Arch environment

[Wolfgang Thumser]

Package: node-minimatch
Version: 9.0.3-5

When running on x86_64 Architecture in Multi-Arch environment with additional
i386 Architecture, the package libnode115_20.17.0+dfsg-2_i386.deb complains
about dependency node-minimatch:i386 not being installed, however:

"$ dpkg -l|grep node-minimatch" yields:
ii	node-minimatch	9.0.3-5		all	Convert glob expressions into RegExp objects for Node.js

"dpkg -s node-minimatch" reveals:

Package: node-minimatch

Description: Convert glob expressions into RegExp objects for Node.js

So I guess the control file misses the directive

"Multi-Arch: foreign"

in order to be recognized as a dependency for foreign architectures (i.e. i386 in my case).

I suggest to include the directive in an upcoming build.
