Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.13.16
dpkg-scanpackages -a option now seems broken.
This only happened recently, maybe broken in 1.13.16, but not in
early versions. My makefile which builds my Package files stopped
including my amd64 and i386 architechture files.
Here is the snippet from the man page:
SYNOPSIS
dpkg-scanpackages [-u] [-a<arch>] [-m] binarydir overridefile [pathpre-fix]
> Packages
I see that running:
dpkg-scanpackages -ai386 ./pool /dev/null
or
dpkg-scanpackages -aamd64 ./pool /dev/null
is now apparently a syntax error. This used to provide Package
output including _arch.deb and _all.deb files, now only includes
_all.deb files.
output:
# dpkg-scanpackages -aamd64 ./pool /dev/null
Unknown option: aamd64
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
When trying either "-a amd64", "-a i386" "--arch amd64" or "--arch
i386", the output is now valid Packages format, but only includes
*_all.deb.
The pool directory that I refer to is:
http://mirrors.jgi-psf.org/jgiware/pool
My machine is i386 running Etch, fully dist-upgraded.
extra entry in my sources.list file.
