Package: dpkg Version: 1.18.3 Severity: wishlist Dear Guillem,
it's rather tedious to find the correct "Architecture:" value for a binary package -- and also to keep it uptodate with the growing list of architecture -- if only one or two architectures need to be excluded. It would be very convenient and also future-proof if I could specify e.g. "!arm64 !any-arm" in the "Architecture:" field in a binary package stanza in debian/control, in line with the negative architecture lists that can used for build-dependencies. I'd imagine that this could also be used with dpkg-architecture's -W option: dpkg-architecture -L -W '!arm64 !any-arm' Thanks in advance for considering! -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (600, 'testing'), (111, 'buildd-unstable'), (111, 'buildd-experimental'), (110, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-8 ii libc6 2.21-3 ii liblzma5 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2.1 ii libselinux1 2.4-3 ii tar 1.28-2.1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 dpkg recommends no packages.
