Package: debhelper Version: 7.4.11 Severity: normal Currently, when you have a source package having both arch: any and arch:all packages, there is no way you can use --fail-missing (or --list-missing, for that matter) without it failing on buildds: most packages will still build and install arch:all data in debian/tmp, which dh_install will then complain is not installed in any package. Obviously, it is not installed, since the package is not being built on buildds or anything using the binary-arch target.
I think dh_install should, even if it doesn't install anything for these packages, take the $package.install files into account and don't complain that the files that would normally be installed in the packages that are not being built. OTOH, as this would be a problem with the "old" way of doing things (a binary target depending on binary-arch and binary-indep targets), this should probably only be done when using dh. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages debhelper depends on: ii binutils 2.20-5 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii dpkg-dev 1.15.5.6 Debian package development tools ii file 5.03-5+b1 Determines file type using "magic" ii html2text 1.3.2a-14 advanced HTML to text converter ii man-db 2.5.6-5 on-line manual pager ii perl 5.10.1-9 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-base 5.10.1-9 minimal Perl system ii po-debconf 1.0.16 tool for managing templates file t debhelper recommends no packages.
