Yes, that patch should help. In the common case, Build-Depending on "gcj" will just prevent the package from being tried on arches that do not have java/gcj. But TTBOMK the experimental autobuilders don't include the patch that manages to do that, hence it was tried. AFAICS, libidn provides other binaries than java package, so you really need to apply your patch above. Otherwise, those other parts won't be built on arches without java (and would be eternally out-of-date). > >>The libidn11-java package is Architecture: all, so the libidn11-java > >>package built on hppa will never be installed in the archive, right? If you creates -java packages that are arch:any, in addition to debian/control, you must modify your debian/rules to handle gracefully being built on a system without gcj. The result should be that the libidn11-java is not built at all; you can do that with the -N switch of debhelper. You should be able to find example code. However, if the java package is arch:all, no modification is strictly required. However, if you want to be pedantic, you should ensure binary-indep fails if the package is built on a system without gcj. > >>I'm not sure how to test whether the above patch is enough, other than > >>to upload a new package.

Apply the following version of the patch in a test package: - Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 6), autotools-dev, gcj, fastjar + Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 6), autotools-dev, xxx [!i386], fastjar And then build your package on pbuilder passing -B. That should simulate what the hppa buildd is going to do.

P-a-s would be relevant here if libidn11-java was arch:any, and only because libidn provides some non-java packages. > Maybe a better solution is to Build-Depend on 'default-jdk' rather than > depending on 'gcj' explicitly? I believe the libidn java port should > build with any compliant java compiler. I have no idea about this, and you should ask debian-java. But I'll note that there is no default-jdk on hppa either. I hope this mail cleared things for you.
