Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.19.7 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Today I found that building i386 packages on amd64 Debian Buster systems with multiarch support installed doesn't work. Everytime I've tried to build such a package from source with "dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -ai386" it has failed with this error: Can't exec "i686-linux-gnu-strip": No such file or directory at /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Dh_Lib.pm line 475. I have been able to reproduce this with the packages tar and steam from the Debian Buster repositories. I've also found this issue when trying to rebuild the steam-modeswitch-inhibitor package from SteamOS for Debian Buster. I've tested this on both my system directly and in docker, but the result was the same on both. I tried installing the binutils-multiarch package, since that package contains a binary called i686-linux-gnu-strip in it, but nothing changed. Before upgrading from Debian Stretch I had no issue with building i386 packages on the same system. If additional information is needed to troubleshoot the issue, feel free to contact me. I hope the report is clear and helps you guys out.
