Comment 0 for bug 1262022

I'm on a 64-bit system trying to install "overlay-scrollbar-gtk2:i386" which depends on the "overlay-scrollbar:i386" package. "overlay-scrollbar:i386" doesn't have an install candidate because it's a "multi-arch" package. This should (or so I've been told) be reflected in the meta information of the "overlay-scrollbar" package but isn't, which is why the former package fails to install.

As a more competent person than I put it:

"The overlay-scrollbar package does not come in i386 or amd64 flavors; it comes as an "all" flavor, which installs on all archs.

It appears to be missing the Multi-Arch: allowed header so it won't satisfy an i386 package depending on it. You should file a bug report asking that the missing header be added."
