[Bug 831768] Re: aptitude cannot handle the same packages of different architectures being installed

[Micah Gersten]

** Description changed:

  TEST CASE:
  1. Enable multiarch (should be automatic on new oneiric systems)
  2. Install an i386 package on amd64 (like flashplugin-installer:i386)
- 3.  aptitude will now fail to perform upgrades w/out removing the i386 libs
+ 3.  aptitude will now fail to perform upgrades when there's a package conflict w/out removing the i386 libs
  
  This basically renders aptitude useless on a multiarch enabled system
  (default in oneiric).

** Summary changed:

- aptitude cannot handle the same packages of different architectures being installed
+ aptitude cannot handle conflicts with multiarch enabled

** Description changed:

  TEST CASE:
  1. Enable multiarch (should be automatic on new oneiric systems)
  2. Install an i386 package on amd64 (like flashplugin-installer:i386)
- 3.  aptitude will now fail to perform upgrades when there's a package conflict w/out removing the i386 libs
+ 3. Mark something with a lot of dependencies for installation
+ 4. On the confirmation screen, try to remove on of the dependencies (aptitude will now fail to perform upgrades when there's a package conflict w/out removing the i386 libs)
  
- This basically renders aptitude useless on a multiarch enabled system
- (default in oneiric).
+ This renders aptitude painful on a multiarch enabled system (default in
+ oneiric).
