Source: rsync
Version: 3.1.2-2
Severity: important
User: helm...@debian.org
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.
Many packages build-depend on rsync, and this patch seems like a net
gain to apply even in the absence of more benefits.
What do you think about applying it, Paul?
Is it of any help if we offer to NMU, if you happen to be busy but are
otherwise OK with the patch?
Cheers.
