I'm trying to package the current stable version of FMOD for Debian. My issue is that there are separate source tarballs for the amd64 and x86 architectures. How to handle this case?

I first tried to create separate fmodex32 and fmodex64 packages which both provide a virtual package called fmodex but this approach failed as fmodex-dev should require fmodex in its exact version. Dependencies on specific versions are never satisfied by virtual packages.

  • Couldn't you just fake it with two different packages with the same name? Commented Nov 1, 2012 at 15:02
  • Or put two different upstream tarballs and have debian/rules use one or the other depending on the target architecture? Commented Nov 1, 2012 at 15:03
