The "verification-done" tag is sufficient; iso-codes shouldn't go to Fix
Released until the package is actually copied to -updates.

I explained in comment #5 why it is not a straightforward matter to
convert libxml2 to multiarch in oneiric.  Sure, the package itself is
fairly easy to convert, but there are a lot of knock-on effects; it
wouldn't be acceptable, for instance, to cause any future security
updates of an unknown but definitely non-zero number of packages to fail
to build.  We would have to do a full test rebuild of all reverse
dependencies of libxml2 and backport all the build system fixes that we
and/or Debian applied to those in precise.  Given that oneiric has only
five months of support left, and that we do not appear to have a clear
requirement to update skype in oneiric, it's not obvious that this
effort is worth it by comparison with the other things we could be
fixing in oneiric or other releases.

** Changed in: iso-codes (Ubuntu Oneiric)
       Status: Fix Released => Fix Committed

** Summary changed:

- libxml2 is not installable on 64bit oneiric due to broken multiarch dependencies
+ libxml2:i386 and ubuntu-desktop are not coinstallable on 64bit oneiric due to broken multiarch dependencies
