Package: netselect-apt Version: 0.3.ds1-14 Severity: important
Running netselect-apt on a powerpc machine, it returned a mirror (mirror.steadfast.net) that does not actually provide the powerpc architecture. I did a 2nd run with "netselect-apt -a powerpc", which gave me a valid mirror. Looking into the script, it seems that the default architecture is chosen via dpkg-architecture, which is not installed by default. It appears to be part of package dpkg-dev. I believe what needs to happen is to either add a dependency on dpkg-dev to netselect-apt, or call "dpkg --print-architecture" instead of "dpkg-architecture" (to be pedantic, even then maybe a dependency on dpkg should be added?!?). -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages netselect-apt depends on: ii netselect 0.3.ds1-14 speed tester for choosing a fast n ii wget 1.12-2.1 retrieves files from the web netselect-apt recommends no packages. netselect-apt suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
