[Bug 1536081] Re: libsdl2:i386 isn't installable on 64-bit systems with newer graphics stack

[LocutusOfBorg]

sorry, but I can't accept this patch.

First: this breaks people not using the lts stack (or the hwe one in
xenial), second, something in the dependency chain is built against the
old stack

e.g.: installing the libsdl2-dev:i386 package on a xenial chroot with
-hwe enabled, results in:

dependencies not satisfied:
apt-get install libegl1-mesa-dev:i386 libmirclient-dev:i386 libmircommon-dev:i386 libxkbcommon-dev:i386

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libegl1-mesa-dev libgles2-mesa-dev libmirclient-dev libmircommon-dev libsdl2-dev libxkbcommon-dev


so, if you really want them coinstallable, at least libxkbcommon-dev needs to become multiarch ready, and this will be "fixed" at least for next ubuntu releases.

BTW that -lts-* renaming has been removed in xenial+ releases, now the updates have the same name, so it should be affecting only trusty right now.
(and I don't honestly plan to put all this effort in fixing trusty, I would appreciate if you can confirm xenial is ok)

  I am on nvidia drivers, so obviously I cant use mesa.
