Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.17.27 Severity: normal Hi Maintainer
While trying to avoid a FTBFS for package madness on architectures where the tests timed out, I tried disabling the tests for armel and i386. This had the desired result [1] on i386, but the tests still ran and timed out on armel. I logged into abel.debian.org, an armel porterbox, and found the following: $ dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH sh: 1: gcc: not found dpkg-architecture: warning: couldn't determine gcc system type, falling back to default (native compilation) armel I think the warning text before 'armel' is preventing the tests from being disabled in madness. I also found the following text in the armel build logs of several packages, starting around early 2015. Check architectures ─────────────────── sh: 1: gcc: not found sbuild: warning: couldn't determine gcc system type, falling back to default (native compilation) Regards Graham [1] https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=madness&suite=unstable
