Package: reprepro
Version: 4.12.5-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 5.6.8
Dear Maintainer,
I tried to include a package in my existing custom apt repository, and now all
it does is complain about the 'all' architecture, which is apparently a valid
architecture.
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Architecture
bear:/var/www/apt# reprepro list wheezy
Error: Distribution wheezy contains an architecture called 'all'.
There have been errors!
So now I cannot update my repository. This worked previously, and I do not
understand the nature of the complaint. It is not providing sufficient detail,
and my inquiries on the debian-user list go unanswered. I am not sure how to
proceed.

It is and it is not. "all" means something like "all architectures",
i.e. not limiting a package to one repository.
But you cannot have a Debian installation being architecture "all".

- delete "all" from all Architecture: lines in conf/distributions
- run reprepro --delete clearvanished (reprepro should tell you to do
this if you try to run it)
