libglfw2:i386 and libglfw2:amd64 are not coinstallable

[Scott Ritchie]

This library has not been properly multiarched. The result is that if someone wants an i386 game that depends on it, and a different amd64 game that depends on it, they will have one uninstalled.

[Andreas Moog (ampelbein)]

As far as I can tell, the package hasn't been multiarched at all. Since we get the package directly from debian it might be worthwhile to open a bug in their bug tracking system as well.

I'll note I filed this bug because it actually affected a game I was installing, which I believe conflicted with a completely different game from the Ubuntu App Store.

This bug was fixed in the package glfw - 2.7.9-1

---------------
glfw (2.7.9-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream version.
    - This is the last version of GLFW 2.
  * Enable multiarch (Closes: #732436, LP: #941319).

  * debian/control:
    - Add myself to the list of uploaders.
    - Bump debhelper compat level to 9.
    - Bump standards version - no changes.
    - Use cgit Vcs-Browser URL.
    - Update package short descriptions (copied from glfw3).
    - Add dependency on dh-exec needed by the multiarch build procedure.
  * debian/copyright:
    - Use correct DEP5 'Format' URL.
  * debian/rules:
    - Handle build flags correctly to fix hardening warnings.
    - Use the correct upstream makefile targets to simplify the build
      procedure.
    - Remove libglfw.so.2.6 (has the wrong filename and is not required).
    - Move the readme.html file to libglfw-dev and install it via
      libglfw-dev.docs instead of the rules file.
