Bug#626775: lintian: should accept "any all" in Architecture in .dsc and not trigger magic-arch-in-arch-list
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.0
Severity: normal
Next version of dpkg (1.16.1) will keep "all" in the Architecture field on .dsc
even if there's a binary with architecture "any".
But when a .dsc contains "Architecture: any all", lintian complains with:
E: dpkg source: magic-arch-in-arch-list
N:
N: The special architecture value "any" only make sense if it occurs
N: alone. The value "all" may appear together with other architectures in
N: a *.dsc file but must occur alone if used in a binary package.
N:
N: Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 5.6.8 (Architecture) for
N: details.
N:
N: Severity: serious, Certainty: certain
N:
This error is correct for the fields in debian/control but not for the
architecture field in the .dsc.
Please update lintian (I'll file a bug against policy at the same time).
