Package: syslinux-efi
Version: 3:6.04~git20190206.bf6db5b4+dfsg1-3

X-Debbugs-Cc: dbarysh...@gmail.com

The ARM64 syslinux-efi package binaries for x86 instead instead of ARM
binaries:

$ uname -m
aarch64

$ file /usr/lib/SYSLINUX.EFI/efi*/syslinux.efi
/usr/lib/SYSLINUX.EFI/efi32/syslinux.efi: PE32 executable (EFI application) 
Intel 80386 (stripped to external PDB), for MS Windows
/usr/lib/SYSLINUX.EFI/efi64/syslinux.efi: PE32+ executable (EFI application) 
x86-64 (stripped to external PDB), for MS Windows

As such these binaries are unusable on ARM64 hosts.

There's a single `Architecture: all` package, there are no
architecture-specific builds for this package…

https://repo.or.cz/syslinux.git/tree/HEAD:/efi knows about efi32 and
efi64, not about ARM.

And I can't find any information about ARM anywhere anyway…

 extlinux arch=amd64,i386,x32
 isolinux arch=all
 pxelinux arch=all
 syslinux arch=amd64,i386,x32
 syslinux-common arch=all
 syslinux-efi arch=all
 syslinux-utils arch=amd64,i386,x32

Sounds like not a bug, instead of a grave bug…


Cheers,
