No multi-arch information in libgtksourceview2.0 control files

[Pieter Agten]

I am trying to install the i386 version of libgtksourceview2.0-0 on my 64-bit Trusty Tahr installation, but when I run

apt-get install libgtksourceview2.0-0:i386

I get:

[...]
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libgtksourceview2.0-0:i386 : Depends: libgtksourceview2.0-common:i386 (>= 2.10) but it is not installable
                              Depends: libgtksourceview2.0-common:i386 (< 2.11) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

When looking at the package page of libgtksourceview2.0-common, it appears the package is universal (not for any specific architecture), hence I cannot install an i386-specific version of it.

If I tell apt-get to ignore dependencies, libgtksourceview2.0-0:i386 installs just fine and appears to be working correctly (so far).

Based on the comments I received on Question #249755, it appears this is because "there is no multi-arch information in the control file [of the libgtksourceview2.0 package(s)]".
