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

[Jean-Luc Aufranc]

I've tried it for armel.
Added
deb [arch=armel,armhf] http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports precise-proposed main universe multiverse restricted to /etc/apt/source.lists

Then ran:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -t precise-proposed python:armel

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 python:armel : Depends: python2.7:armel (>= 2.7.3) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I've tracked to mime-support
sudo apt-get install -t precise-proposed mime-support:armel
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package mime-support:armel is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'mime-support:armel' has no installation candidate

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.
