Spoke too soon again ;-)
dpkg-repack 1.30 indeed puts a second 'Architecture' field in control.
Or it always was there, I never checked.
So eliminate the second field:
* HOWTO eliminate the duplicate Architecture field:
* Create a package directory (say /mc_4.6.2-2)
* /Wed May 26-11:46:27SDB6# dpkg-deb -x
mc_4.6.2~git20080311-4_i386.deb /mc_4.6.2-2
* /Wed May 26-11:47:35SDB6# dpkg-deb -e
mc_4.6.2~git20080311-4_i386.deb /mc_4.6.2-2
* Move the files from the latter into a dir named ‘DEBIAN’
* Edit the control file in DEBIAN and delete the second Architecture field.
* /Wed May 26-11:50:15SDB6# dpkg-deb -b /mc_4.6.2-2
* This will create mc_4.6.2-2.deb
* dpkg -i mc_4.6.2-2.deb
This maybe common knowledge to all, but this is the first time I've run into it.
I create a Debian mirror of all the packages I install with
dpkg-repack and reprepro. Then I start a new installation from a
script with the sources file pointing to that mirror.
But every single one of the packages in the mirror have duplicate
Architecture fields.
