Package: check Version: 0.9.8-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch We are working on getting multiarch metadata correct throught the archive. This package needs to be marked 'Multi-Arch: foreign' for dependencies and build-depencies to work correctly in all cases.
Any package 'X' build-depending on check cannot be cross-built because apt-get build-dep -a<arch> cannot satisfy X's build-dependencies until Multi-Arch: foreign is added to check's control file, to indicate that check from any available arch will satisfy the dependency. (Is is actually the case that check will always work correctly across architectures - it looked like it to me but I am not familiar with its operation, so maybe there could be problems? It worked OK in local tests for the arm64 bootstrap). There are 114 packages which can't be cross-built until this change is made. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.6 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32.33-kvm-i386-20111128-dirty (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
