Re: Questions on libc5 for new architecture (arm)

You can often find this out by running "dinstall -n" on the changes file
yourself, on master:

% ~maor/dinstall/dinstall -n libcompface_1989.11.11-16_arm.changes

libcompface_1989.11.11-16_arm.changes

This is probably a bug in libcompface.  It should refrain from building
the libc5 packages on architectures that don't want them.
