[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#738538: Is boost1.55 really multiarch ?

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Package: libboost1.55-dev
Version: 1.55.0-1
Severity: important

I am trying to build a custom software with g++-multilib. I would like
to be able to use -m32 on my amd64 box, but I cannot find a way to
install boost with both amd64 and i386 package.

Steps:

$ apt-cache policy libboost1.55-dev:amd64 libboost1.55-dev:i386
