Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.17.15 Severity: normal Hi,
I'm running amd64 and have symlinks:i386 installed. Now I'm trying to build glibc which build depends on symlinks. Since symlinks is M-A:foreign it should satisfy the build dependency of glibc built on amd64. Nonetheless, dpkg-checkbuilddeps will throw an error. Additionally, I cannot reproduce the same problem after having installed symlinks:amd64 and then again symlinks:i386. After having done that, dpkg-checkbuilddeps behaves properly even with only symlinks:i386 installed. This might be related to #710769 but that bug affected M-A:no packages which were wrongly classified as M-A: foreign while this bug is about a M-A:foreign package being treated as if it was M-A:no. cheers, josch -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.14-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dpkg-dev depends on: ii base-files 7.3 ii binutils 2.24.51.20140918-1 ii bzip2 1.0.6-5 ii libdpkg-perl 1.17.15 ii make 4.0-8 ii patch 2.7.1-5 ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 Versions of packages dpkg-dev recommends: ii build-essential 11.6 ii clang-3.3 [c-compiler] 1:3.3-16 ii fakeroot 1.18.4-2 ii gcc [c-compiler] 4:4.9.0-4 ii gcc-4.8 [c-compiler] 4.8.3-11 ii gcc-4.9 [c-compiler] 4.9.1-16 ii gnupg 1.4.18-2 ii gnupg2 2.0.25-1 ii gpgv 1.4.18-2 ii libalgorithm-merge-perl 0.08-2 Versions of packages dpkg-dev suggests: ii debian-keyring 2014.08.31 -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
