Indeed, this seems to be the case. The same test as in the original bug report completes successfully if I "dpkg --add-architecture amd64; apt-get update" prior to attempting the (partial) upgrade. > I would say its a good idea to raise the versionnumber non-the-less > for all the people who are naughty and don't follow point-releases. Indeed, there are always sufficiently many of them that it's better not to have to require upgraded tools in the old release prior to upgrading. > And its more correct / less confusing, as its not an completely bogus > idea to strip :any in single architecture environments.

(and it certainly is if you think you know what :any might mean and haven't yet managed to find documentation for what it means in Policy...) thanks for looking into it Stuart -- Stuart Prescott http://www.nanonanonano.net/ stu...@nanonanonano.net Debian Developer http://www.debian.org/ stu...@debian.org GPG fingerprint BE65 FD1E F4EA 08F3 23D4 3C6D 9FE8 B8CD 71C5 D1A8 GPG fingerprint 90E2 D2C1 AD14 6A1B 7EBB 891D BBC1 7EBB 1396 F2F7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
