For a library, I see the problem the "-dbg" has symbols for a "M-A: same" package (e.g. a library). But for some package that is "M-A: foreign", I don't see why the related "-dbg" package couldn't be "M-A: foreign". Sure it might be "weird", but I don't immediately see how it would break anything. Though, on a related note - what about "M-A: allowed"? > Sid currently contains one example for a "real" -dbg package, i.e., with > debugging symbols; and one example for a transitional -dbg package, > which also seems to be wrong: > > | $ < ftp.de.debian.org_debian_dists_sid_main_binary-amd64_Packages perl -00 > -ne 'print if /^Multi-Arch: f/m && /^Package:.*-dbg$/m' | egrep > '^Package:|^Multi-Arch:|^Description:|Version:|^$' > | Package: libva-intel-vaapi-driver-dbg > | Version: 1.0.17-1 > | Description: VAAPI driver for Intel G45 & HD Graphics family (transitional > package) > | Multi-Arch: foreign > | It is a transitional package and has no debug symbols at all, so not an issue. > | Package: libsqlite3-0-dbg > | Version: 3.7.13-1 > | Description: SQLite 3 debugging symbols > | Multi-Arch: foreign > > > Regards > Carsten > This does look like a problem, because it has (or appears to have) debug symbols from both an M-A: same and an M-A: foreign package at the same time. ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
