Package: mbuffer Version: 20140310-1 Severity: important User: debian-...@lists.debian.org Usertags: arm64
The latest version of mbuffer failed to build on arm64 with the following error. Invalid configuration `aarch64-linux-gnu': machine `aarch64' not recognized configure: error: /bin/bash ./config.sub aarch64-linux-gnu failed Version 20110119-2 built successfully. Looking at the changelog I see "Use dh-autoreconf instead of autotools-dev to also regenerate the configure script and friends" It appears your package is one of the handful of cases that uses autoconf and config,sub/guess but does not use automake. autoreconf only updates config.sub/guess if automake is used so your package still needs autotools-dev to update them despite using autoreconf. Debdiff attatched. If I get no response to this I will most likely NMU it after either the current version migrates to testing or arm64 is formally declared a release architecture (which will make this a rc bug and a testing migration blocker)
