sbuild is not installable on hurd-any since 0.91.1, because of the new

support unshare, please consider changing it to something like
"iproute2 | hello".

dependency iproute2, which only exists on linux-any. Since hurd-any doesn't

mode is not useful on hurd.


Recommends.


have different Depends, depending on the architecture.


meaningless. Using "iproute | hurd" would be better, no?

What do you think?

whoops, apologies for that. Thank you for filing this bug. Evidently we didn't think of Hurd when we moved iproute2 and uidmap from Recommends to Depends. Both packages are there because sbuild requires these in unshare mode. That I think the most trivial fix would be to revert commit 7be961ee5c1877be406f736c198e2d17193fbff8 and move these two packages back to Another option would be to make sbuild an Architecture:any package and let it The problem I have with "iproute | hello" is, that then the dependency becomes

Anyway, I look forward to a new sbuild release that closes this bug ;-;

I think reverting that commit should be the best solution. Making sbuild arch:any looks very ugly to me...and I don't think it makes sense for iproute2 to stay in Depends, because sbuild can still use schroot, and unlike unshare, schroot works everywhere.
