Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.13.15 Severity: important Dear dpkg-dev Maintainers,
The architecture switch in dpkg-scanpackages does not work in neither 1.13.15 nor 1.13.16. As an example, running: 'dpkg-scanpackages -ai386 pool/sid/main/ /dev/null' gives: Unknown option: ai386 dpkg-scanpackages [-u] [-a<arch>] [-m] binarypath overridefile [pathprefix] > Packages Options: --udeb, -u scan for udebs --arch, -a architecture to scan for --multiversion, -m allow multiple versions of a single package --help, -h show this help The above command works fine in 1.13.13. As a side note, using '-a i386' (i.e. space between switch and value) only lists the architecture-independent packages whereas 1.1.13 gives an error for this. I am setting this to important because it completely breaks the creation of Packages files in multi-arch repositories.
