How to install libweston-8-0 weston and libweston-8-dev and keep the arm64 packages?

This has got to be a packaging bug. I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS in a VM under Oracle VirtualBox

I am multi-arch and can successfully cross compile X11 applications for an ARM64 target.

Wanted to be able to continue compiling and debugging on host then building for target using Weston/Wayland. One can do it for X11 and everything else.

sudo apt-get install libweston-8-0:arm64 libweston-8-dev:arm64

That installs fine for cross compiling. The problem is when you try to install weston and the dev packages on the host.

sudo apt-get install libweston-8-0 weston

There is no reason to be removing the arm64 stuff yet it does.

How does one test locally Weston/Wayland applications, then cross compile to test on target? I didn't even try with the -dev version of the package above because this was going to uninstall the arm64 packages I need for cross compilation.

While we are at it, packagers appear to have the exact same problem with the libgles family of packages.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
