Please help me understand what is going wrong here. When looking at [0] which I guess is an example failure caused by this bug, it seems to me that the buildd invokes "debian/rules build" which as I understand it will cause both -arch and -indep parts to be build. Might be related to this in the buildcore.mk file of CDBS: # This is a required Debian target; however, its specific semantics is # in dispute. We are of the opinion that 'build' should invoke # build-arch and build-indep. Policy tends to support us here. # However, dpkg-buildpackage is currently invokes debian/rules build # even when doing an architecture-specific (binary-arch) build. This # essentially means Build-Depends-Indep is worthless. For more # information, see Policy §5.2, Policy §7.6, and Debian Bug #178809. # For now, you may override the dependencies by setting the variable # DEB_BUILD_DEPENDENCIES, below. This is not recommended. DEB_BUILD_DEPENDENCIES ?= build-arch build-indep build: $(DEB_BUILD_DEPENDENCIES) Or am I missing something?
