Bug#452464: linhdd packaging bug, i386 binary in all .deb
It's not 'whatever arch it happens to be built on'. The source package contains an i386 binary for abs_fdisk in addition to a copy of the util-linux source and debian/rules doesn't rebuild it, it just installs the binary. So it will always be i386.

That is, the relevant line in debian/control should look like this: Architecture: alpha amd64 arm hppa i386 ia64 mips mipsel powerpc s390 Thiemo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hi, Thanks for your bug report. /usr/share/doc/linhdd/README.Debian says that linhdd will not work where cfdisk utility is not provided and it is clearly mentioned ie m68k and sparc arch. Can you please test it on different arch? I've tested it in amd64 and i386. If it really doesn't work, the options is, To limited linhdd to these two (or where it works) arch Let me know your views. -- Cheers, -- Kartik Mistry | GPG: 0xD1028C8D | IRC: kart_ blog.ftbfs.in | kartikm.wordpress.com -- Endless Loop, n.: see Loop, Endless.

Bug#452464: linhdd packaging bug, i386 binary in all .deb
Package: linhdd Version: 0.4-2 Severity: serious Linhdd builds a single _all.deb despite providing an architecture dependent binary. /usr/share/doc/linhdd/README.Debian suggests this was done to save space in the archive. The consequence, however, is that it won't work on any other architecture than the one it happens to get built on.
