Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: alien
Trying to install an rpm for i386 on an amd64 ubuntu, I get the
following error:
dpkg-gencontrol: error: current build architecture amd64 does not appear
in package's list (i386)
Since the ia32-libs are installed, the application will run just fine
once it's installed. I think this is true for most i386 rpm packages
that one might want to install on the amd64 architecture.
A command line parameter for changing the architecture of the resulting
.deb would be very useful for this case.
