After doing some testing I found that in fact there is a bug. dpkg-architecture for i386 gives the Build arch and host differently: DEB_BUILD_ARCH=linux-i386 DEB_HOST_ARCH=i386 which stops dpkg installing anything on the build machine. This is probably my fault rather than Guillem's, but needs fixing before it can go upstream. I shall try and fix this on the way to fosdem, and if I can't, hope Guillem is there to explain it all to me :-) Wookey -- Aleph One Ltd, Bottisham, CAMBRIDGE, CB5 9BA, UK Tel +44 (0) 1223 811679 work: http://www.aleph1.co.uk/ play: http://wookware.org/ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
