Subject: alien: Fails to convert a 'noarch' RPM to deb
Package: alien
Version: 8.82
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
When converting a 'noarch' RPM to a deb package, alien fails with
the message: "Radiator-4.7-1.noarch.rpm is for architecture all ;
the package cannot be built on this system". As Radiator is written
in pure Perl, I would assume the architecture check to always pass.
The ARCH in the RPM is a true 'noarch':
$ rpm -qp --queryformat %{ARCH} Radiator-4.7-1.noarch.rpm; echo ""
noarch
$
In Alien::Package::Deb, dpkg-architecture is called
'dpkg-architecture -i.$arch' (where $arch == 'all' in my case), but according
to the dpkg-architecture man page, -i should be followed by a
'architecture-wildcard' defined as:
"An architecture wildcard is a special architecture string that will match any
real architecture being part of it. The general form is <kernel>-<cpu>.
Examples: linux-any, any-i386, hurd-any."
Shouldn't 'noarch' be translated to 'any' instead of 'all'?
For completeness: on the build system, dpkg-architecture reports:
$ dpkg-architecture
DEB_BUILD_ARCH=i386
DEB_BUILD_ARCH_OS=linux
DEB_BUILD_ARCH_CPU=i386
