Hi Samuel, In Ubuntu, we are in the process of moving the i386 architecture to a compatibility-only layer on amd64. As part of this, I am working to unpick dependencies on rdma-core, which is not needed as part of the compatibility set that we want to support and whose build-dependencies make it unreasonable to support on i386 going forward. One of the packages that build-depends on rdma-core and which is still in our i386 compatibility set is hwloc. When I dug into this, I found that hwloc's build-dependency on libibverbs-dev is only used for building a test binary, openfabrics-verbs, and that nothing in hwloc uses libibverbs at runtime. I've uploaded the attached patch to Ubuntu, because I don't think it makes sense to build-depend on this complex stack merely to run an optional test case. Do you think this would be a reasonable change to make in Debian as well? Thanks, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
