It was probably 8ad611e557ffbeda7ec4e86480ff0218a23f68bd which causes some of the test packages to build using dh build-arch: rules-build-dep-pattern: make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/lintian/debian/tests/rules-build-dep-pattern/rules-build-dep-pattern-1.0' rules-build-dep-pattern: dh build-arch rules-build-dep-pattern: dh: Unknown sequence build-arch (choose from: binary binary-arch binary-indep build clean install) rules-build-dep-pattern: make[1]: *** [build-stamp] Error 9 rules-build-dep-pattern: make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/lintian/debian/tests/rules-build-dep-pattern/rules-build-dep-pattern-1.0' rules-build-dep-pattern: dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2 The dependency still needs to be on debhelper >= 8.1.0~ for that reason though so the solution was right even if the reasoning wasnt.

* Mark Hymers , 2011-07-03, 14:37: Commit 1f2f20b9973bbea25f10372f5d951216f7379fbe added build-arch support to debian/rules which cases a FTBFS with debhelper versions older than 8.1.0 (noticed when backporting to squeeze). Huh? 1f2f20b9973bbea25f10372f5d951216f7379fbe added just two targets that are currently not used by any tool[0]. I can't see how it could possibly affect buildability of lintian. [0] Well, except dh in compat 9, but lintian certainly doesn't use it. -- Jakub Wilk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-lint-maint-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Package: lintian Version: 2.5.1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi, Commit 1f2f20b9973bbea25f10372f5d951216f7379fbe added build-arch support to debian/rules which cases a FTBFS with debhelper versions older than 8.1.0 (noticed when backporting to squeeze). Could you bump the debhelper version requirement please?
