Bug#758616: dpkg: support installing M-A:same packages with different binNMU version
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.17.11
Severity: wishlist
(X-d-cc debian-release@)
Hi,
Currently M-A:same packages with different versions can't be co-installed.
That prevents packages that have been binNMUed in one architecture but not
another to be co-installed, e.g.
libfoo_1.1-1:i386
libfoo_1.1-1+b1:amd64
or
libfoo_1.1-1+b1:i386
libfoo_1.1-1+b2:amd64
Can't be co-installed.
This is problematic because packages get binNMU on a subset of architectures
very often (whenever it's not needed to binNMU them everywhere).
See e.g. #758527.
