Package: tth Version: 4.08+ds-1 Tags: patch User: helm...@debian.org Usertags: rebootstrap Control: affects -1 + src:bibtool
bibtool fails to cross build from source, because its invocation of tth fails. Since tth is (implicitly) Multi-Arch: no, the host architecture version of tth is installed and thus cannot be executed. I looked through the source of tth and it looks like it only contains command line tools. Their output and behaviour seems to only depend on the input files and command line switches. It seems to be independent of the architecture used to execute these tools. Unless I missed some architecture-specific aspect of these tools, the package can simply be marked Multi-Arch: foreign. Then bibtool will pick up the build architecture version of tth and succeed executing it. Please consider applying the attached patch. It also sets Multi-Arch: foreign on the other packages as their cases look similar. Helmut
