[Pkg-pascal-devel] Bug#1059376: lcl is wrongly marked Multi-Arch: foreign

[Helmut Grohne]

Package: lcl
Version: 2.0.2+dfsg-2
Severity: important
User: debian-cross at lists.debian.org
Usertags: ftcbfs
Control: affects -1 + src:ddrescueview

lcl is Multi-Arch: foreign. This is an assertion that interfacing with
it works the same way irrespective of its architcture. Moreover, it's an
empty package forwarding to lcl-2.2. Hence, the only way for this to be
true is that lcl-2.2 is also Multi-Arch: foreign, but in fact lcl-2.2 is
Multi-Arch: same (and I think this is correct). lcl-2.2 is a dependency
package of its own and forwards to e.g. lcl-units-2.2 which contains
object files on architecture-dependent paths and that's quite definitely
not Multi-Arch: foreign. Hence lcl must not be Multi-Arch: foreign.
Quite probably, it should do the same as lcl-2.2 and be Arch:any +
M-A:same.
