Package: debfoster Version: 2.7-2.1 Severity: important Hello,
debfoster started acting oddly since a couple of days, I don't really see why. In my case it is getting called from /usr/share/sbuild/create-chroot which has set /var/lib/debfoster/keepers to build-essential debfoster fakeroot and runs debfoster -f. With an additional -v, we get: warning: package dpkg-dev: unsatisfied dependency on perl:any warning: package dpkg-dev: forcing depdency on perl:any warning: package hurd-dev: unsatisfied dependency on perl:any warning: package hurd-dev: forcing depdency on perl:any warning: package libdpkg-perl: unsatisfied dependency on perl:any warning: package libdpkg-perl: forcing depdency on perl:any warning: package util-linux: unsatisfied dependency on login 1:4.5-1.1~ warning: package util-linux: forcing depdency on login Removing package: libgdbm-compat4 Removing package: libgdbm5 Removing package: libperl5.26 Removing package: perl Removing package: perl-modules-5.26 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: build-essential* dpkg-dev* g++* g++-8* hurd-dev* libc0.3-dev* libdpkg-perl* libgdbm-compat4* libgdbm5* libperl5.26* libstdc++-8-dev* perl* perl-modules-5.26* 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 13 to remove and 0 not upgraded. After this operation, 137 MB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] thus breaking the create-chroot script. I'm not sure why it wants to remove perl, even if by dependency build-essential gets removed too. I have added perl to the keepers list installed by create-chroot and then debfoster -f doesn't want to remove perl etc., but that shouldn't be needed. Perhaps there is a mishandling of multiarch :any? Samuel
