[Bug 1026640] Re: [FFe] Please transition openmotif to multi-arch

[Iain Lane]

The symlinks scare me; seems weird that they bumped soname when
compatibility wasn't broken... Nevertheless, uploaded. Thanks!

Title:
  [FFe] Please transition openmotif to multi-arch

Status in “openmotif” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “openmotif” source package in Precise:
  In Progress
Status in “openmotif” package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  [FFe] Please consider the patch attached to comment #7 for a Feature
  Freeze exception.

  [IMPACT]
  Libmotif4 is required by some commercial applications;  Xilinx FPGA Editor 12.1,  Fluent Inc. Gambit 2.4.6, ANSYS 13 (display and lsprepost), Citrix Receiver client, etc.
  Not all software is available for both architectures, so in some cases installing libmotif for amd64 and i386 side-by-side is required.

  [Test Cases]
  The archive attached to comment #4 contains executables Xmtest-libmotif4-i386 and Xmtest-libmotif4-amd64.

  Install packages libmotif4 and libmotif4:i386 and verify that both
  Xmtest-libmotif4-i386 and Xmtest-libmotif4-amd64 execute.

  [Regression Potential]
  Minimal: this change applies to the building of a library.  Libmotif4 has only one reverse-dependency, arb, that needs a test-rebuild.

  Trying to install libmotif as prereq for Citrix receiver client.
  Installation failed.
