Bug#1115227: libllvm19: Installing libllvm19:i386 on a AMD64 system with libllvm19 already installed will force apt to remove libllvm19 and dependent packages.

[Bogdans Krutilins]

Package: libllvm19
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: i386
User: debian-amd64 at lists.debian.org
Usertags: amd64
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-amd64 at lists.debian.org
X-Debbugs-Cc: bkr1haya at gmail.com
Version: 1:19.1.7-6
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
- Attempted to install libllvm19:i386 as it is a requirement for Steam.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
- I ran "sudo apt install libllvm19:i386". This caused apt to state that it
will be removing libllvm19, xorg, nvidia-driver ffmpeg, clang, chromium etc.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
- I cancelled the installation of libllvm19:i386 as I did not want
important packages to be removed.
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
- libllvm19:i386 would co-install alongside the libllvm19 AMD64 package on
my AMD64 system. This was always the case previously. Looking at
https://packages.debian.org/sid/libllvm19, it shows that both i386 and
AMD64 packages are the same version, so (from my understanding), the
install should have went ahead without issue.
