The binutils package is not binNMU-safe. When doing a binNMU, the architecture-specific changelog is installed verbatim into a shared location. The accepted solution is to separate the architecture-specific binNMU entry to an architecture-dependent path. This presently causes an co-installation failure in forky where binutils was binNMUed. I recommend using dh_installchangelogs. Helmut
thanks for the bug report, however ... if you know that, then don't do binNMUs. binutils doesn't use dh_installchangelogs. so please provide a spec what binNMUs are doing (I'm not aware of one), and even better an implementation to do what binutils is supposed to do without dh_installchangelogs.
