Thanks for the reply.

I will try to do that in the next few days, as time permits.

Feel free to go ahead with the NMU directly.

You might as well orphan the package while at it.
The Debian GNOME team doesn't have interest in that package anymore and
is most likely not going to touch it in the future either.

Hi,

2016-10-15 13:39 Helmut Grohne:

Package: gnome-mime-data
Version: 2.18.0-1
Tags: patch
User: helm...@debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap
Control: affects -1 + src:gnome-vfs

gnome-vfs cannot be cross built from source, because its build
dependency on gnome-mime-data is unsatisfiable. In general, dependencies
on Architecture: all packages are cross unsatisfiable unless they are
marked Multi-Arch: foreign.

In this case, the marking looks correct, because gnome-mime-data is
Architecture: all and doesn't have any maintainer scripts or
dependencies. Please consider applying the attached patch.


This package is a build-dependency of gnome-vfs, which in turn is a
build-dependency of many others, so I think that it's important that
this fix is applied.

I uploaded an NMU to delayed/10 directly, since the package hasn't seen
an upload in 10+ years; but please let me know if you prefer me to
cancel it.

.debdiff attached.


Cheers.
