If that's JAR files are zip archives, so I'm guessing they may or may not be arch-independent depending on their content. not the case, could you please point me to packaging instructions (or existing package) how to pack multiarch java archives?

O. -- Ondřej Surý ond...@sury.org Hi, Presumably, the issue is the timestamp of files packed in the jar file (which will differ between architectures due to different build times). In rare cases upstreams actually do put different content/bytecode in the JARs based on the architecture (SWT is a known example). Assuming it is architecture independent, it may make sense to move the JAR file to an architecture independent package (or move the SO files to an architecture dependent package and make libdb5.3-java arch:all). ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
