Can we get a fix for this pushed to unstable/testing and then backported to wheezy ? We have some infrastructure relying on this module to parse dependencies (my use case: backend scripts of tracker.debian.org) and we currently get tons of warnings like this: deb822.py: WARNING: cannot parse package relationship "python:any (>= 2.6.6-7~)", returning it raw It's really annoying. Note that dpkg is accepting any valid architecture string and I suggest that you fix the code to accept the same (see parse_string() in /usr/share/perl5/Dpkg/Deps.pm), basically the regex for the architecture is a simple: [a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-]* You could also add support for "restrictions" which will be used in the future to implement bootstrapping build profiles (that is content in <> put after the dependency).
