Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.10
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
(Bug severity because this is an incorrect error.)
A Build-Depends entry like:
libopenafs-dev [alpha amd64 hppa i386 ia64 powerpc s390 sparc]
triggers invalid-arch-string-in-source-relation because of amd64. The
reported information also refers the user to policy 5.6.7, which is the
section on the Package field. I assume that 5.6.8 was intended.
The attached patch (against 1.23.11) downgrades a non-standard
architecture in a source dependency to info, following the precedent of
the Architecture field.
I didn't repeat the architecture list from non-standard-architecture
in the new non-standard-arch-in-source-relation tag; it seemed like yet
one more thing to keep in sync and didn't seem particularly necessary
there.
