Source: rsync Version: 3.1.2-2 Severity: important User: [email protected] Usertags: rebootstrap
I noticed that when building rsync, it sometimes ends up with the wrong Architecture field in the binary package. When I built rsync for arm64, it could still end up as "Architecture: amd64". It turns out the debian/rules assigns DEB_HOST_ARCH=$(DEB_BUILD_ARCH). Since DEB_HOST_ARCH usually is an exported variable, subprocesses (e.g. dpkg-gencontrol) see the assignment and use the wrong value. Simply removing that line (as it is otherwise unused) fixes the build. Please consider applying the attached patch. Helmut
