package: ftp.debian.org

Hi. I am the maintainer of the package hfsprogs and its source code is
not 64-bit clean.

I discovered this after I uploaded the version 332.14-1 to the archives,
via the bugreport #436159.

I have, researched the problem further and reading the code, I noticed
that it works by "sheer luck" on 32-bit systems, but breaks on 64-bit
systems.

Thus, I have prepared (and uploaded, via my sponsor) a new revision of
the hfsprogs package (332.14-2) and restricted the arches only to
powerpc and i386, where it was already tested and worked.

I will investigate more and see if a future package can be made with
fixes so that it can be enabled in all arches again.

I would, in the mean time, kindly request that the architecture set were
restricted so that it can reach testing and be available in future
releases of Debian.


Thank you very much, Rogério Brito.
