[Bug 1847602] [NEW] Package libglib2.0-0:armhf fails to install: Exec format error

Thu Oct 10 12:28:40 UTC 2019

Public bug reported:

Description:	Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
Release:	18.04

uname -a: Linux dtsmith-vallum 4.15.0-65-generic #74-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep
17 17:06:04 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

All updates available to date have been applied.

Command is "sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-0:armhf"

Debian team supposed to fix this bug with package version 2.54.2-5 see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=885019

I am doing cross-compile work with the following compilers

arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-8 from package gcc-8-arm-linux-gnueabihf

The schemas from the native gcc-7 package are in
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas.

"sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev:armhf" has the same error.

Work-around is to install libglib2.0-dev for the host. The schema files
are in /usr/share/glib-2.0. I have cross-compiled syslog-ng as armhf and
it works.

Here is the output of the apt install command:
