gir1.2-unity-7.0 is declared Multi-Arch: same, but fails to coinstall.

The files
 * /usr/lib/girepository-1.0/Unity-7.0.typelib
 * /usr/lib/girepository-1.0/UnityExtras-7.0.typelib
are shared by gir1.2-unity-7.0 version 7.1.4+19.04.20190319-6.1+b1 as
present in trixie and version 7.1.4+19.04.20190319-6.1+b2 as present in
forky|unstable with varying content.

Please ensure that shared files have bit-identical content across
architectures, move architecture-dependent files to
architecture-dependent paths or remove the Multi-Arch: same field.

Kind regards

Hi Helmut,

my guess is that the libunity src:pkg where gir1.2-unity-7.0 stems
from is not needed anymore in Debian, the entanglement is with
evolution-plugins and that can probably be disentangled, too.

Instead of fixing this, I'd go for getting libunity src:pkg removed
from Debian.

Mike

Hi Mike,

Fair enough. What do you intend to do about src:psensor and
src:evolution?

Helmut

Please note that evolution already has this requested.
This also makes this a key package, which is why this bug will not
trigger autoremoval.

Well because Unity is still supported to some degree in Ubuntu and
because evolution is a popular app, I'd rather not disable the Unity
feature in evolution now. Maybe I'll change my mind later.

I don't think there is a good way to have a Build-Depends that only
exists in Ubuntu but keep the packaging in sync with Debian. I wish
there were, since it could help with the maintenance of several
packages.

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
