Can't cross-build under amd64

[Loïc Minier]

Binary package hint: binutils

Hi

One can't cross-build binutils on amd64 due to bad interactions between the host's and the newly built libbfd; see e.g. http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2009-09/msg00635.html

Bye,

This bug was fixed in the package binutils - 2.20.1-3ubuntu2

---------------
binutils (2.20.1-3ubuntu2) lucid; urgency=low

  * Mangle the soname of the binutils libraries to be different than
    the default name. Closes: #557620. LP: #548451.
    Packaged cross builds should do the same.
  * Apply fix for PR ld/11426, taken from the trunk.

When attempting to upgrade this package the following error message appears in Synaptic:

Could not mark all packages for installation or upgrade.

The following packages have unresolvable dependencies. Make sure that all required repos are added and enabled.

binutils:
  Depends: binutils (>=2.20.1-4) but 2.20.1-3ubuntu1 is to be installed

I'm reluctant to try and "force version".

The upgrade issue is fixed
