Hi Aurelien, I learned that libftdi1 technically became part of the architecture cross bootstrap set and that results in severe constraints about what it can depend on. The root cause is the addition of libtss2-dev to gnupg's Build-Depends from from libftdi1 via boost it goes really bad. Some package will have to get a build profile. As part of this, I've looked into libftdi1 and tried reducing its dependencies. I see three main opportunities. * We can turn libboost-test-dev optional via <!nocheck>, but we retain libboost-dev for libftdipp. * We can make all that Python stuff optional via <!nopython> and that works really well, because py3vers returns an empty sequence when missing and that makes stuff mostly just work. The exception here is override_dh_auto_install-arch, because the last installed version "wins". To make things reproducible, the main build needs to be installed last. * Making libftdipp (and thus boost) optional is difficult, because the CMake files installed into libftdi1-dev contain information about libftdipp1-dev and that goes missing if you -DFTDIPP:BOOL=OFF, so it'd be unreproducible. I'm attaching a patch for the first two items as those feel like fairly direct improvements with little downsides. Would you agree to merge them? What I still needs is getting boost out of the cross bootstrap set. I'll be looking into adding a profile to gnupg next, but I still appreciate if you happen to see a way of reasonably building libftdi1 without boost. Helmut
