Re: dpkg-buildpackage creating uninstallable packages?

[Norbert Preining <preining@logic.at>]

Hi everyone,

second try, with more data ..


default package texinfo, I am importing a new upstream into my git,
no changes to debian/rules or debian/control, rebuild.
>From the debian/control:
..
Package: info
...
Architecture: any
Multi-Arch: foreign
...

After building the package looks like:
info_5.2.0.dfsg.1-1_amd64.deb:
 new debian package, version 2.0.
 ....
 Version: 5.2.0.dfsg.1-1
 Architecture: amd64
 Maintainer: Debian TeX maintainers <debian-tex-maint@lists.debian.org>
 Installed-Size: 451
 Depends: libc6-amd64 (>= 2.15), libtinfo5, install-info
 ...

------

When installing the just built deb on my machine for testing I get:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of info:
 info depends on libc6-amd64 (>= 2.15).


For completeness, I am on amd64, and on uptodate sid.

$ dpkg --print-architecture
amd64

$ dpkg -l libc6-amd64
ii  libc6-amd64    2.17-93      i386         Embedded GNU C Library: 64bit S..

$ apt-cache policy libc6-amd64
libc6-amd64:i386:
  Installed: 2.17-93
  Candidate: 2.17-93
  Version table:
 *** 2.17-93 0
        500 http://ftp2.jp.debian.org/debian/ sid/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


What is going wrong here?

Norbert
