Package: apt-utils
Version: 0.7.25
Severity: important
I am maintaining a small debian pool (squeeze) for my project and it has
both i386 and amd64 packages. Now I need to create Index files
(binary-ARCH/Packages.gz and Contents-ARCH) files for the same..
Even though the pool contains packages for different architectures..it is
given in the apt-ftparchive manual that using a conffile., generating
separate index files are possible..
* Conffile*
Dir {
ArchiveDir "mirror";
OverrideDir "mirror/indices";
CacheDir "mirror/tmp";
};
TreeDefault {
Directory "pool";
Contents "dists/squeeze";
};
Tree "dists/squeeze" {
Sections "main";
Architectures "i386";
};
BinDirectory "pool/squeeze/main" {
Packages "dists/squeeze/main/binary-i386/Packages";
BinOverride "override.sque.main";
Contents "dists/squeeze/Contents-i386";
};
Default {
Packages {
Extensions ".deb";
Compress ". gzip";
};
Contents {
Compress "gzip";
};
};
and I expect "*apt-ftparchive generate conffile*" to create index files
which contains only i386 packages..but that is not happening and the index
files contains the whole lit of both the architectures..
Is this is a problem with my conf file or a bug in apt-ftparchive..

Hello Prema,
First of all: Thanks for your report!
And in this case: Perfect timing. ;)

It is a bug in apt-ftparchive - your configfile seems to be correct.
A version which hopefully fix this issue was uploaded yesterday
to experimental, so i am closing this bugreport now, but feel free
to reopen it after 0.7.26 has settled in unstable and the bug still
appears (i hope not).
In the mean time you can circumvent the problem e.g. with a FileList.
Best regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
David Kalnischkies
