Package: liblo7
Version: 0.28-3
Severity: important
Tags: patch

I was helping a friend figure out why he couldn't install dssi-vst:i386 on
his amd64 Linux Mint 17 without it wanting to remove some other packages.

I pretty quickly noticed that the problem was in fact that installing
liblo7:i386 wants to remove liblo7:amd64 because it isn't multiarch
enabled.  The version of the package in Linux Mint 17 is the same as
the one in Ubuntu which is the same as the one in Debian, and since I
use Debian, I figure the problem ought to be solved at the root directly.

Here is a patch that makes liblo7 multiarch, and it has solved my friends
problem and is working fine there.  Both 32 and 64bit programs using
liblo7 are now happy.
