[18:06] <d33tah> hi! hggdh pointed me here saying I could get help building wine. this fails on zeisty because of deps problems (missing packages): "sudo apt build-dep wine -a i386"
[18:06] <d33tah> what could I try?
[18:16] <d33tah> i tried adding arch to dpkg, libxml-simple-perl:i386 just doesn't seem to be there
[18:17] <sladen> d33tah: please can you file a bug with the exact list of commeands to reproduce it, and the exact error message that you're getting.  A FTBFS is a worry
[18:18] <d33tah> sladen: it's not as much of a ftbfs as it is my inability to fetch build deps. perhaps maintainers have a way around that
[18:19] <d33tah> sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt  build-dep wine -a i386
[18:19] <sladen> d33tah: (I'm on a train, so can't test/check).  is the perl package an all-arch package?...
[18:20] <d33tah> sladen: nope, it varies by arch
[18:20] <d33tah>   Version table:
[18:20] <d33tah>  *** 2.22-1 500
[18:20] <sladen> d33tah: http://packages.ubuntu.com/libxml-simple-perl
[18:20] <d33tah>         500 http://pl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty/main amd64 Packages
[18:20] <d33tah>         500 http://pl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty/main i386 Packages
[18:21] <d33tah> whoops. weird.
[18:21] <d33tah> so, yes, it looks like wine's trying to refer to i386 version of a package that's an allarch?
[19:19] <cjwatson> not everything is cross-buildable
[19:19] <cjwatson> libxml-simple-perl would likely need to be marked as Multi-Arch: foreign or some such to make progress, but the situation with perl modules has historically been complex and I don't recall whether that's made progress
[19:20] <cjwatson> you'd really be better off building that in a chroot rather than using the MUCH more complex cross-building machinery as you're currently trying to do
