Stefano,

I have not been able to find another pacakage that exhibits this same
behavior in its PTS page, but I am proceeding with the bug report.  It
appears that sometimes the arch listing as repeated several times, as in
[0].  My best guess at a cause is that it happens when a source package
produces multiple binary packages and *all* the binary packages contain
the exact same architecture list (and that list is not any or all).  For
example, many libraries have a corresponding -doc package which is
architecture all, so none of the other libraries I have looked at have
had this problem.  I apologize for not being able to find another
example of this problem.

Regards,

- -Roberto

Guillem,

Thanks for the tip.  That package was built over six months ago, so the
bug was probably fixed long ago.  Right?

Stefano,

I am closing this bug report.  However, I don't think it would hurt to
work around this particular problem in the PTS code in case more bad
data were to get in somehow.  Though, I would not think that spending
too much effort on it would be worth it, so only fix it if it can be
done quickly and easily.

Regards,

-Roberto
