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
