[Pkg-ia32-libs-maintainers] Bug#540303: ia32-libs: seems like I figured out why this happened

[Dmitri Gribenko]

Package: ia32-libs
Severity: normal


Hi,

I'm on testing and after libc update I have only fakeroot's files left in
/emul.  I've got fakeroot 1.12.4 installed and it Conflicts with libc6-dev-i386
<= 2.9-13.  But I don't have libc6-dev-i386 installed, only libc6-i386.  So,
when fakeroot update has migrated to testing (in June), I installed it and
didn't notice anything, until now.  So I think that the problem is that
fakeroot 'Conflicts' on the wrong package.  Does this sound reasonable?

If my thoughts a correct, then fakeroot is now partially broken on a number of
systems (that is, it is not my local problem) and something should be done with
this.  Although I can erinstall it manually, it would be better if it would be
done automatically for all affected users.

Best regards,
Dmitri Gribenko
