Package: gpart Severity: important C.f. #396816.
gpart apparantly is little-endian specific, see aforementioned bugreport. If so, it should definitely FTBFS if tried to be built on a non-little-endian architecture (and how about arm?), preferably by a build-time test on endianness, or even better, by (also?) having a build-time functionality test of the thing that's known to be broken. Lacking such measure, there is a risk of broken packages ending up in the archive, like what happened here. Packages-arch-specific is *not* an adequate prevention measure, the contents of the file should not be relied upon to prevent mistakes, it's a buildd-specific configuration file. --Jeroen -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-3-k7 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
