The build log isn't that old yet, I'd wait for the buildd maintainer to review it, he will probably re-schedule gnushogi for rebuild. Otherwise, the package will get an FTBFS bug filed. > First of all, does this mean that the package isn't being pushed out > on _any_ architecture because of this one failure?

Yes, it means that the package won't go into testing at all. No, there is no way to circumvent that except for getting it to build on arm. Either wait (preferably), or find someone that builds it on arm for you. Christoph PS: debian-mentors might have been more approriate. -- cb@df7cb.de | http://www.df7cb.de/
