Package: linda Version: 0.3.17 Severity: normal The dependency on dpkg-dev introduced in response to bug #324674 should be versioned. "dpkg-architecture -L" only works in more recent versions of dpkg-dev. For example the version in sarge doesn't support the parameter. So while linda from etch is installable on sarge, it currently doesn't work because it won't make sure that the version of dpkg-dev is sufficient. I would suggest adding a dependency on dpkg-dev (>=1.13.11).
