Bug#864672: htop FTCBFS: python-minimal build dependency not installable

[Daniel Lange]

Hi Helmut,

thank you very much for the patch.
I applied it to our collab-maint repo so it will be in the next htop release 
for testing/Buster.

https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/htop.git/commit/?id=ba3d665468e9752a81a50bb2df7639950e0a3c77

Kind regards,
Daniel

Bug#864672: htop FTCBFS: python-minimal build dependency not installable

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: htop
Version: 2.0.2-1
Tags: patch
User: helm...@debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap

htop fails to cross build from source, because it requests the host
architecture python-minimal in its Build-Depends. That is neither
installable nor executable. What htop really needs is a build
architecture python-minimal and requesting that is done by annotating it
with :native or :any. After doing so, htop cross builds successfully.
Please consider applying the attached patch after stretch is released.

Helmut
