Package: apt-listchanges Version: 2.85.13 Followup-For: Bug #736712 I see this problem too, on two machine on which gcc is not installed, because i don't need it.
The "couldn't determine gcc system type" message is displayed for every package you are about to install. For example: 12 packages, 12 warning messages. If you launch dpkg-architecture alone, you'll get the same message on the first line of the output: ------------------------------- # dpkg-architecture sh: gcc: command not found dpkg-architecture: warning: couldn't determine gcc system type, falling back to default (native compilation) DEB_BUILD_ARCH=i386 DEB_BUILD_ARCH_BITS=32 DEB_BUILD_ARCH_CPU=i386 DEB_BUILD_ARCH_ENDIAN=little DEB_BUILD_ARCH_OS=linux DEB_BUILD_GNU_CPU=i486 DEB_BUILD_GNU_SYSTEM=linux-gnu DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE=i486-linux-gnu DEB_BUILD_MULTIARCH=i386-linux-gnu DEB_HOST_ARCH=i386 DEB_HOST_ARCH_BITS=32 DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU=i386 DEB_HOST_ARCH_ENDIAN=little DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS=linux DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU=i486 DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM=linux-gnu DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE=i486-linux-gnu DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH=i386-linux-gnu ------------------------------- So looks like this bug should be redirected to dpkg-dev.
