[Pkg-net-snmp-devel] Bug#774775: libsnmp-dev: Cannot install i386 package due to conflict with perl-base

[William]

Package: libsnmp-dev
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,


   * What led up to the situation?
I tried to install the package libsnmp-dev for i386 architecture on my amd64 jessie installation.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
I reinstall a version of wheezy in a virtual machine, and upgraded it to a jessie, and tried to install libsnmp-dev:i386 without installing any other packages, in order to confirm that the situation wasn't due to an other installed package, and it hadn't any effect.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
Installation of this package failed because it requires the installation of perl-base:i386 that conflicts
with perl-base. Perl base couldn't be uninstalled due to many dependencies.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
I was expecting developpment libraries for libsnmp and headers files to install.
