This is true, but it doesn't make for a good user experience. > Generally, arch:all packages depend on a lot of architecture dependent > packages, and unless one resolves the whole dependency chain, there is > no way to check whether a package is actually installable. The buildds have installability checking for build-deps (IIRC using dose), so some sort of QA service could be doing these sort of checks more cheaply than installing arch:all packages outside of amd64. Also unfortunately piuparts.d.o doesn't yet support multiple arches, but there is probably some coverage of arch:all packages on debci, not sure if it tests them on multiple arches though. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
