I talked a bit with my peers, and there is a consensus on our side that thing should not be relying on `uname` to detect the host architecture. Indeed before the stretch release we were actively testing varying kernel on the i386 builds by using an amd64 kernel and filed bugs for them. Please make your package not rely on uname. -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`. more about me: https://mapreri.org : :' : Launchpad user: https://launchpad.net/~mapreri `. `'` Debian QA page: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=mattia `- signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Indeed that is the case with this board. It's running an arm64 kernel and the builds run in an armhf chroot. Maybe setting the correct personality will fix this, although it might hide problems in code as well... > I don't know if pbuilder has this ability (I know schroot does), but > if not then you could use "setarch linux32" instead. Thanks for the suggestion, will look into it! live well, vagrant signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Package: jenkins.debian.org Severity: normal Hi, I noticed this build of ffmpeg in buster failed on armhf, while the same version does build in the unstable version: https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/armhf/ffmpeg.html https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rbuild/buster/armhf/ffmpeg_3.3.3-1.rbuild.log The configure log contains > Mon Aug 7 07:36:24 UTC 2017 I: Starting 1st build on remote node > jtx1b-armhf-rb.debian.net.

I don't know if pbuilder has this ability (I know schroot does), but if not then you could use "setarch linux32" instead. Thanks, James signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
