Package: googleearth-package Version: 0.2.2 Severity: normal Hi,
Actually, I think bug #416457 (archived) isn't quite closed yet. The generated package still has a hardcoded 'Architecture: i386' field, where it actually could be 'amd64' or 'ia64', making it necessary to edit the make-googleearth-package to generate an installable deb on my AMD64 (one that doesn't need any --force-* arguments to install). The corect solution IMO (please let me know if I'm missing something obvious here!), would be to make the googleearth-package package "Arch:i386,amd64,ia64" (which are the only arches it actually has a chance of building a running package) and change the hardcoded Arch:i386 field to 'Arch: $(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_ARCH)', creating a package suited for your arch. I also think the --force check in the make-googleearth-package script is unnecessary, since changing the Arch field in the package would make sure the use ran it in the correct arch. If it's an advanced user, who would know what to do with an out-of-arch package, then he can use --force-architecture with dpkg, the way it's supposed to be done. With this change, the package builds, installs and runs flawlessly on my AMD64 machine, without any --force arguments or editing of files.
