| Subject | dpkg-scanpackages instructions on the Debian wiki |
| Message-ID | <vPIY1-5Ac-1@gated-at.bofh.it> |
It seems that the dpkg-scanpackages instructions on the Debian wiki are wrong. In the generated Packages file, for libltdl7, I get only: Package: libltdl7 Source: libtool Version: 2.4.6-2.1+local2 Architecture: i386 Maintainer: Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be> Installed-Size: 417 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14) Filename: ./libltdl7_2.4.6-2.1+local2_i386.deb [...] while I have both: libltdl7_2.4.6-2.1+local2_amd64.deb libltdl7_2.4.6-2.1+local2_i386.deb and I need both to satisfy dependencies (due to the bloated libwine:i386). Indeed the dpkg-scanpackages(1) man page says: If more than one version of a package is found only the newest one is included in the output. If they have the same version and only differ in architecture only the first one found is used. I assume that one needs a specific directory for each foreign architecture. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vincent@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)

That sentence, and most of the dpkg-scanpackages script, was written
before multiarch, and apparently nobody bothered to add multiarch
support to dpkg-scanpackages.

Either that, or use apt-ftparchive to generate the Packages file. Works
for me. :-)
Cheers,
