Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build
on armhf.

Hi Lucas,

gcc-i686-linux-gnu is in Build-Depends-Indep, it’s only used to build Arch:
all packages. Is there a requirement that these build on armhf? Given that
armhf doesn’t have gcc-i686-linux-gnu, I’m not sure how I would go about
fixing this, short of asking for the cross-compiler to be added to armhf
(which doesn’t seem all that useful).

Regards,

Stephen

No, indeed. That could be closed, or downgraded to wishlist + wontfix as
"arch:all packages can only be built on amd64 due to missing
build-depends(-Indep) on other architectures". (I'd prefer a downgrade,
because if that bug had existed, I would have seen it and would not have
filed the bug)
