Package: diffutils Version: 1:3.2-6 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Since you last ran autoreconf for this package, ARM's 64-bit architecture (AArch64), has been added to the list of supported architectures in the system-wide config.sub and config.guess (see the 20120210.1 version of the autotools-dev package)
In order to start the arm64 debian port autofoo needs to know about the arch in all autoconf-using packages. Please update this package to include those definitions. The simplest way to do this is to install autotools-dev from testing/unstable and (in package top-level dir) do cp -f /usr/share/misc/config.{sub,guess} . If you wanted to keep this up to date automatically in the future (generally a good idea) then adding something like this to your distclean target would be effective: -test -r /usr/share/misc/config.sub && cp -f /usr/share/misc/config.sub config.sub -test -r /usr/share/misc/config.guess && cp -f /usr/share/misc/config.guess config.guess You could instead just make those files links. along with a build-dependency on autotools-dev -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.5 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32.33-kvm-i386-20111128-dirty (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages diffutils depends on: ii libc6 2.11.3-3 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib diffutils recommends no packages.
