Hi, please Cc: me as I am not reading debian-dpkg. Thank you. I do have a package (muttprint) which in the next version needs an extra little program to determine under which environment (charset etc.) it runs. Under Linux or glibc-based systems that could be done with a perl script; on others a little C program is needed. So, muttprint is Arch: all, so I could put this perl helper app into this package without any problems -- but only for Linux/glibc systems. For the others I need the C program which I wanted to put into muttprint-langinfo since I do not want to make muttprint Arch: any which will affect all architectures of which the most could "live" with the arch-independent perl script. So muttprint would need no extra dependencies except on e.g. *bsd-*. I tried Depends: ...., muttprint-langinfo [hurd-i386] as an simple test but that does not work: dpkg-deb: parse error, in file `debian/muttprint/DEBIAN/control' near line 6 package `muttprint': `Depends' field, syntax error after reference to package `muttprint-langinfo' dh_builddeb: command returned error code 512 ok, I could just add muttprint-langinfo with Arch: any and depend: on it but that seems senseless to me since it would contain on that arch-independent perl script on the most platforms anyway... Any ideas? Or is this impossible and I have to to the muttprint-langinfo as Arch: any solution? :( Grüße/Regards, René -- .''`.
