I am not sure that is the case; libgl1-mesa-glx is a proper binary package which is not available (in theory) on the Hurd anymore though an old binary is still on ftp.debian.org. I think if we remove that binary, sbuild/buildd would look at the second option; though I am not sure whether a virtual package is valid here, I'll try to check this out. > A solution would be to ask maintainers to fix into libgl1-mesa-glx > [!hurd-i386] | libgl1-mesa-swx11 [hurd-i386] | libgl1 ? The [!arch] syntax is unfortunately only valid for Build-Depends, not for Depends (Depends also usually gets partly populated during build). One solution here is type-handling, but this is deprecated I think; another solution is pending a proper fix in dpkg, but I am not sure about the status. Yet another solution would be to create different Depends: lines on hurd-i386 and other architectures, but this needs more complicated handling in debian/rules. > In the meanwhile we may want to install libgl1-mesa-swx11 by hand on the > buildd, so that these packages will go fine. That would be a good interim solution, yes. I think I tried to do this some time ago, but ran into inter-depenencies with Arch: all package and so on, and decided the best way would be to rebuild unstable's mesa with your patch.
