Can't install libconnectivity-qt1-dev on multiarch

[Michał Sawicz]

Trying to install libconnectivity-qt1-dev on multiarch (cross-building for armhf on amd64) resolves to, ultimately, python3-xdg:armhf not being installable.

This breaks cross compiling of unity8 atm :/

Easily reproducible by, on a amd64 system, going:

$ LANG=C sudo apt-get install libconnectivity-qt1:i386

<cjwatson> shouldn't indicator-network be Multi-Arch: foreign instead?
<cjwatson> that would cause libconnectivity-qt1's dependency on it to be fulfilled by the native architecture
<cjwatson> (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec#Dependencies_involving_Architecture:_all_packages)
 It depends on the kinds of technical interfaces that indicator-network provides to its dependencies
 If it provides only architecture-independent interfaces - that is, *from the point of view of the things depending on it* it doesn't matter what architecture indicator-network is as long as it's runnable - then it should be Multi-Arch: foreign
