[Bug 1175687] Re: Please mark rpm2cpio Multi-Arch: foreign

[Cláudio Carvalho]

It is working fine for me. To test it I put rpm2cpio as a build-requirement to build a i386 package on a x86_64 system. Now I am able to build it using 'dpkg-buildpackage -ai386'.
Thanks.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Marking rpm2cpio "Multi-arch: foreign" will allow 32-bit packages to depend on rpm2cpio and install successfully on 64-bit releases of Ubuntu which have multi-arch support.

  Some 3rd party apps depend on rpm2cpio.

  [Test Case]
  Build and install i386 packages on amd64 and attempt to depend on rpm2cpio.

  [Regression Potential]
  Minimal as this packaging change only affects multiarch status.

  
  [Additional information]
  If accepted into Saucy, I'll submit patches for p, q, and r.
