Bug#745168: gpm: Please use arch:linux-any

2014-04-18 Thread Samuel Thibault
Source: gpm
Version: 1.20.4-6.1
Severity: important

Hello,

This package seems Linux-specific, so it should use Architecture:
linux-any in the control file, so its build is not even tried on
non-Linux archs.

Well, really libgpm2 should be ported to non-Linux platforms.  gpm
itself may be specific to the Linux console, but libgpm2 shouldn't be.
It provides a common API to both gpm and xterm.  And xterm is up to
date on all 3 non-Linux ports.  (And s390x, another platform where the
gpm daemon itself doesn't make sense.)
