Package: devscripts
Version: 2.15.9
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
I'm using debuild -S to create a source package. debuild calls
dpkg-architecture, which in turn tries to call gcc and shows an error.
I shouldn't need gcc to build a source package.
The variables set by dpkg-architecture aren't used in a sourceonly build, so
the call to dpkg-architecture should be inside the block that uses its
results.
See attached patch.

Not just that, dpkg-genchanges and dpkg-genbuildinfo will indirectly
try to call gcc to fetch the build and host architectures, even for
source-only builds.
In the end this looks just like:
<https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/FAQ#Q:_Why_are_.buildinfo_files_always_generated_with_dpkg-buildpackage.3F>
and as mentioned there, if you only want to build a source package and
avoid any other action, then the easiest way to do that is to simply
only call «dpkg-source --build».
I'm thus going to close this report.
Thanks,
Guillem
