You tricked yourself: myrddin:~/xfree/out$ dchanges xbase-3.1.2-8.deb WARNING: missing ARCHITECTURE field in file: xbase-3.1.2-8.deb refers to the missing architecture spec in the *filename*, not the control file. Some of us now encode architecture in the Debian package filename, but I don't think that you guys in Cambridge are too hot on that one... -- Dirk Eddelb"uttel http://qed.econ.queensu.ca/~edd
