Hi guys,
In Ubuntu, I've applied a patch to make systemtap-sdt-dev depend on
python:any instead of on python. This allows the -dev package for a target
architecture to be installed for cross-compiling, with /usr/bin/dtrace using
the system python instead of trying to pull in the one for a foreign
architecture.
Please be aware that there are some problems with the apt in wheezy
incorrectly believing that the python:any dependency is satisfied by
versions of the python package which do not have the Multi-Arch: allowed
tag; this is discussed in bug #723586, which is now fixed in sid, but you
may want to add a further guard against this for the wheezy apt by setting
the dependency to:
python:any (>= 2.7.5-5) | python (>= 2.6.6-3)
Thanks for considering the patch.
