I started developing a fix for this bug: Add an --encoded-package-metadata parameter to ld and change dpkg to specify -Wl,--encoded-package-metadata=<encoded-json> instead of spec file. PPA build for it: https://launchpad.net/~bdrung/+archive/ubuntu/elf-package-metadata
Next step: Add this flag to the gold linker and submit those patches upstream. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2071468 Title: ELF package metadata failure: environment variable ‘DEB_HOST_ARCH’ not defined To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/asymptote/+bug/2071468/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
