Starting from 29+fixes20170927.gited4356116a-dmo3 and with a couple of
Multi-Arch updates to Debian packages[0, 1] and the patch below[2] I've
been able to install libmyth-29:i386 and libmyth-29:amd64
simultaneously.
The patch applies Multi-Arch: foreign to mythtv-{common,database,doc}.
From
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec this means
The package is not co-installable and should be allowed to satisfy
the dependencies of a package of another architecture than its own.
Which I think is correct, since they are arch:all they can be used to
satisfy the dep.
I've not yet looked into what is needed to install the application
packages.
Ian.
