Bug#513497: update-tasks: assumes i386, fails for other architectures

[Enrico Zini <enrico@debian.org>]

Package: debian-cd
Version: 3.1.0
Severity: normal

Hello,

while running debian-cd as part of simple-cdd, I get this:

set -e; cd /home/enrico/lavori/truelite/npico/sys/tmp//cd-build/lenny/tasks; \
		/home/enrico/lavori/truelite/npico/sys/tmp//debian-cd/tools/update_tasks; \
		/home/enrico/lavori/truelite/npico/sys/tmp//debian-cd/tools/generate_di_list; \
		/home/enrico/lavori/truelite/npico/sys/tmp//debian-cd/tools/generate_di+k_list
gzip: /home/enrico/lavori/truelite/npico/sys/tmp//mirror/dists/lenny/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz: No such file or directory
make: *** [/home/enrico/lavori/truelite/npico/sys/tmp//cd-build/lenny/tasks] Error 1

Indeed that file isn't there, because I'm on amd64 and I'm trying to
build an amd64 lenny CD.

That path is hardcoded in /usr/share/debian-cd/tools/update_tasks:

  # We need to gunzip a copy of the appropriate Packages.gz file
  # Assume i386, use the $CODENAME main Packages file
  TMP_PKG=$TDIR/Packages
  zcat $MIRROR/dists/$CODENAME/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz > $TMP_PKG

Changing that to amd64 in my case fixes the problem, although I can't
say how severe it is because it's one of many places where the build is
failing, and I'm still busy debugging it.

Ciao,

Enrico
