Bug Description
Platform:
Ubuntu Precise 12.04.2 LTS 3.2.0-39-generic #62-Ubuntu SMP Thu Feb 28 00:28:53 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Reference:
I also refer you to bug #1068374 which is very similar in behaviour.
Behaviour:
When I try to bring in libsdl1.2-dev:i386, apt wants to uninstall half my system!
Expectation:
I would expect the library to be installed seamlessly along with the other i386 libraries I had already obtained.
Detail:
I was in the throes of installing Neverwinter Nights game natively under linux using instructions found on "http://
"http://
I wanted this package to cross-compile the nwmouse.so component to assist with the installation of a hardware mouse within the game.
Additional:
Using the instructions for further information requested in bug #1068374 I've already attached the output for further analysis.
affects: | apt (Ubuntu) → libsdl1.2 (Ubuntu) |

This *-dev* package is arch: all, there is no ":i386" version. You install
it without this suffix, can still cross compile.
The corresponding library package can be installed for i386 no problem.
