[Bug 990982] Re: [Multiarch] libfreetype6-dev:i386 dependencies issue

[kenjiru]

I'm trying to compile wine 32 bit on Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit, but I ran into
this issue that libfreetype6-dev:i386 tries to remove a bunch of
unrelated packages.

Please let me know if you find a workaround for this.

Title:
  [Multiarch] libfreetype6-dev:i386 dependencies issue

Status in “freetype” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I'm on
  alex at leon:~$ uname -a
  Linux leon 3.2.0-24-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 25 08:43:22 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  It's a fresh 12.04 install from a mini 30MB iso dd'ed to a USB flash drive.
  So it's clean and up-to-date.

  I have libfreetype6 and libfreetype6-dev installed.
  To compile wine from source (32 and 64 bit version), I need both 32 and 64 bit development packages of several libraries.

  For gcc, I had to install gcc-multilib instead of gcc:i386 (gcc and gcc:i386 seem to be incompatible).
  But there is no freetype6-multilib package hence my bug report.

  I think the following console output will tell you more things than
  long sentences :

  alex at leon:~$ sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev:i386
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree       
  Reading state information... Done
  The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
    libexpat1-dev
  Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
  The following extra packages will be installed:
    libc6-dev:i386 linux-libc-dev:i386 zlib1g-dev:i386
  Suggested packages:
    glibc-doc:i386 manpages-dev:i386
  Recommended packages:
    gcc:i386 c-compiler:i386
  The following packages will be REMOVED:
    build-essential dkms g++ gcc gcc-multilib libfontconfig1-dev
    libfreetype6-dev virtualbox-dkms
  The following NEW packages will be installed:
    libc6-dev:i386 libfreetype6-dev:i386 linux-libc-dev:i386 zlib1g-dev:i386

  Do you want to continue [Y/n]? ^C

  I'm sure you understand removing build-essential and gcc is not really
  something I want to do.

  Hopefully, wine provides a configure switch (--without-freetype) to
  workaround the issue.

  If you need more details, just let me know.
