Hi, as adsb mentioned on #debian-devel and #debian-buildd, dose-builddebcheck also implements the wrong negative value Julian Andres Klode wrote: > >> > >> $ apt-cache policy foobar > >> > >> W: Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'libcdio-dev' > >> > >> W: Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'libiso9660-dev' > >> > >> W: Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'libudf-dev' > >> > > > >> > > According to deb-control(5), "no" is a valid value for the Multi-Arch > >> > > field.

For dose-builddebcheck the error can be reproduced on amd64 currently like this: $ dose-builddebcheck --deb-native-arch=amd64 /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.ch.debian.org_debian_dists_experimental_main_binary-amd64_Packages /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.ch.debian.org_debian_dists_sid_main_source_Sources native-architecture: amd64 The applications raised this exception : Format822.Type_error("Field Multi-Arch has a wrong value : no") This currently causes hanging experimental buildd queues on multiple architectures. See e.g. https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=libcdio&suite=experimental and https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=zsh&suite=experimental (Note to versions not being in sync, at least as of now.)
