[Pkg-openmpi-maintainers] Bug#865468: libopenmpi-dev is wrongly marked Multi-Arch: foreign

Package: libopenmpi-dev
Version: 2.0.2-2
Severity: important
User: helmutg at debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap

I noticed that spooles fails to cross build from source, because it
fails finding -lmpi. It turns out that even though libopenmpi-dev is
depended upon, it cannot be linked, because libopenmpi-dev is wrongly
marked Multi-Arch: foreign. As such dependencies on libopenmpi-dev can
be fulfilled with an arbitrary instance of libopenmpi-dev an in general,
linking will fail. Please remove Multi-Arch: foreign as soon as
possible.

Helmut
