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

[Martin Pitt]

Uploaded saucy change, and forwarded to Debian.

I doubt that it's worth doing an SRU for this for raring and quantal,
though. precise makes more sense, as most third-party packages will
target that. Do you agree?

Title:
  Please mark rpm2cpio Multi-Arch: foreign

Status in “rpm” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “rpm” source package in Precise:
  New
Status in “rpm” package in Debian:
  Unknown

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.
