[Bug 1126558] Re: Please mark alsa-base as Multi-Arch: foreign

[Dave Walker]

Hello Mark, or anyone else affected,

Accepted alsa-driver into precise-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-
driver/1.0.25+dfsg-0ubuntu1.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Title:
  Please mark alsa-base as Multi-Arch: foreign

Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “alsa-driver” source package in Precise:
  Fix Committed
Status in “alsa-driver” source package in Quantal:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Marking alsa-base as M-A: foreign will allow i386 packages that depend on alsa-base to install on a amd64 system.  Since alsa interfaces are architecture independent, foreign seems like the correct marking.

  $ sudo apt-get install my-32-bit-app
  my-32-bit-app:i386 : PreDepends: alsa-base:i386 but it is not installable

  [Test Case]
  Install a 32-bit package that depends or pre-depends on alsa-base and have it properly install.

  [Regression Potential]
  Minimal as this change on affects multi-arch status only.
