Bug Description

During precise development, build-essential was incorrectly marked Multi-Arch: foreign. This directly contradicts the multi-arch cross-building spec, and broke when dpkg started properly implementing that spec in quantal.

This bug has already been fixed in quantal, but the fix should be backported to precise for correctness (in case someone uses the quantal dpkg with the precise build-essential, or some other interesting combination).

Hello Adam, or anyone else affected,

Accepted build-essential into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/build-essential/11.5ubuntu2.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Confirmed that the build-essential binaries in -proposed no longer have a Multi-Arch header.
