[Bug 1262022] Re: incorrect multi-arch related meta information.

 

I don't have the issue with unity-gtk-module, but I am still having
trouble with the scrollbar:

root@bigthink:~# apt-get download overlay-scrollbar-gtk2:i386  overlay-scrollbar-gtk3:i386

Title:
  incorrect multi-arch related meta information.

Status in “overlay-scrollbar” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I'm on a 64-bit system trying to install "overlay-scrollbar-gtk2:i386"
  which depends on the "overlay-scrollbar:i386" package. "overlay-
  scrollbar:i386" doesn't have an install candidate because it's a
  "multi-arch" package. This should (or so I've been told) be reflected
  in the meta information of the "overlay-scrollbar" package but isn't,
  which is why the former package fails to install.

  As a more competent person than I put it:

  "The overlay-scrollbar package does not come in i386 or amd64 flavors;
  it comes as an "all" flavor, which installs on all archs.

  It appears to be missing the Multi-Arch: allowed header so it won't
  satisfy an i386 package depending on it. You should file a bug report
  asking that the missing header be added."
