Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.14.8 Severity: serious Justification: Potentially breaks all unofficial architectures
The new dpkg-gensymbols is surely a great thing that will help the release a lot, but it has been pushed into unstable with a *known* problem: it potentially breaks all unofficial architectures, as the symbols for those architectures are not available on mole and may vary a bit. This causes packages to fails to build in case of differences in the list of symbols, and will progressively break all unofficial architectures, even those that we want to *integrate as an official* architecture sooner or later. Listing all unofficial architectures on mole is not something really easy to do, but on the other hand as unofficial architectures don't have testing, we don't care about over-strict dependencies. As already suggested, please ignore new or missing symbols on unofficial architectures and generate a new symbols file in that case (the current list of official architectures is: alpha amd64 arm hppa hurd-i386 i386 ia64 m68k mips mipsel powerpc s390 sparc). -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid Architecture: kfreebsd-i386 (i686) Kernel: kFreeBSD 6.2-1-686 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii coreutils 5.97-5.3 The GNU core utilities ii libc0.1 2.6.1-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries dpkg recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
