Bug#547724: apt-get build-dep $PACKAGE doesn't handle build-dependencies with architecture wildcards
Package: apt
Version: 0.7.23.1
Severity: normal
If I have a Sources file I'm experimenting with that has this entry,
Package: sbuild-dependencies-resolver
Binary: sbuild-dependencies-resolver
Version: 0.invalid.0
Priority: extra
Section: utils
Maintainer: Debian buildd-tools Developers <buildd-tools-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>
Build-Depends: libgl1-mesa-dev [any-i386]
Build-Depends-Indep: debhelper
Build-Conflicts: nvidia-glx-dev
Build-Conflicts-Indep: cdbs
Architecture: all
Standards-Version: 0.0.0
Format: 1.0
Directory: .
Files:
00000000000000000000000000000000 0 sbuild-dependencies-resolver_0.invalid.0.dsc
00000000000000000000000000000000 0 sbuild-dependencies-resolver_0.invalid.0.tar.gz
When performing 'apt-get build-dep sbuild-dependencies-resolver', it will not
install libgl1-mesa-dev on an i386 machine. Yet if I change the Build-Depends
field to,
Build-Depends: libgl1-mesa-dev [any-i386] | libgl1-mesa-dev [i386]
then libgl1-mesa-dev will be installed on an i386 machine.
Wasn't sure what severity to set for this since there's a proposal for
debian-policy to include support for architecture wildcards. See bug #530687.
