Bug#806611: coccinelle: FTBFS when built with dpkg-buildpackage -A (recipe for target 'check' failed)
Package: src:coccinelle
Version: 1.0.4.deb-1
User: sanvila@debian.org
Usertags: binary-indep
Severity: important
Dear maintainer:
I tried to build this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(i.e. only architecture-independent packages), and it failed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry not to have a fix, as I am reporting many bugs similar to
this one. The common hints are:
* If the only architecture-independent packages are dummy transitional
ones and they were released with jessie, the easy fix is to drop them
now.
* When using "dh", it is allowed to use (independently)
optional targets override_dh_foo-arch and override_dh_foo-indep
(for several values of "foo").
Once that both "dpkg-buildpackage -A" and "dpkg-buildpackage -B" work
properly, the package would be suitable to be uploaded in source-only
form if you wish.
Thanks.
