[Bug 934593] Re: python-all-dev, python-dev must be Arch: any for multiarch

[Micah Gersten]

I had to revert this upload as it made python uninstallable on !i386 due
to build skew.  Not sure why the arch all binary was deleted before the
arch specific binaries were built.

** Changed in: python-defaults (Ubuntu)

Title:
  python-all-dev, python-dev must be Arch: any for multiarch

Status in “python-defaults” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “python3-defaults” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The python-all-dev and python-dev packages are currently Architecture:
  all.  This makes them unusable for cross-building python extension
  packages, because these then get treated as packages of the native
  architecture, pulling in the native python2.7-dev / libpython2.7
  instead of the host-arch one that we need.

  Making them Architecture: any is a prerequisite for being able to grab
  python-all-dev:armhf (for instance) as a build-dependency.  More work
  beyond that will be needed to make this usable though, since
  libpython2.7 has a dependency on python2.7 (why?) and we can't replace
  the native python with the host one for a cross build.
