The source package has a couple of problems that I see already: 1) debian/control needs to have architecture=any instead of i386 2) The libforms-bin rule copies binaries from DESIGN which are only i386. The DESIGN directory really should be laid out like the FORMS directory with arch-specific subdirs. Another option would be to not provide libforms-bin is we can't have powerpc binaries of those tools but this is undesirable and should be fixed in the upstream package. -- Matt Porter [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is Linux Country.
