Well, I have not had the time to track this deeper, but this is the behaviour I've observed: Given a package (e.g., gpm slightly modified mice.c) with this info: --- $ dpkg -I binary-arm/libgpmg1_1.19.6-22.my_arm.deb new debian package, version 2.0. size 51360 bytes: control archive= 837 bytes. 500 bytes, 15 lines control 273 bytes, 4 lines md5sums 135 bytes, 7 lines * postinst #!/bin/sh 132 bytes, 7 lines * postrm #!/bin/sh 32 bytes, 1 lines shlibs Package: libgpmg1 Version: 1.19.6-22.my Section: libs Priority: standard Architecture: arm Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.5-1), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.0.2) Suggests: gpm Conflicts: libgpm1 (<< 1.12-3) Installed-Size: 108 Maintainer: Debian GPM Team <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Source: gpm Description: General Purpose Mouse - shared library This package provides a library that handles mouse requests and delivers them to applications. See the description for the 'gpm' package for more information. --- and this dpkg-cross 1.26: --- $ dpkg-cross -aarm -b binary-arm/libgpmg1_1.19.6-22.my_arm.deb $ dpkg -I libgpmg1-arm-cross_1.19.6-22.my_all.deb new debian package, version 2.0. size 11594 bytes: control archive= 674 bytes. 654 bytes, 16 lines control 147 bytes, 2 lines md5sums 32 bytes, 1 lines shlibs Package: libgpmg1-arm-cross Version: 1.19.6-22.my Section: devel Priority: extra Architecture: all Maintainer: Debian GPM Team <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Source: gpm Depends: libc6-arm-cross (>= 2.3.5-1), libc6-arm-dcv1, libgcc1-arm-cross (>= 1:4.0.2), libgcc1-arm-dcv1 Conflicts: libgpm1-arm-cross (<< 1.12-3) Provides: libgpmg1-arm-dcv1 Description: General Purpose Mouse - shared library (for cross-compiling) This package was generated by dpkg-cross for cross compiling. . This package provides a library that handles mouse requests and delivers them to applications. See the description for the 'gpm' package for more information. ---- As you see, I get depends with -dcv1 suffix as well as -cross suffix. I suspect the following line in dpkg-cross: my $tmp = $alt; $tmp =~ s/^([^ (]+)/$1-$arch-cross/; push @l, $tmp; The need for versioning does not justify IMHO the uglyness of -dcv1 when compared to -cross. And it just "feels" wrong, since it is not the type or instances of the files in the package that changed, but the "packaging" of these files...

I had to patch dpkg, as well as dpkg-cross to make it all work. > > Nikita Пётр Курзанов. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
