I must be misunderstanding something here, because AFAIK source packages don't really care about my *binary* arch. On the mirrors there are 'binary-amd64', 'binary-i386 directories', but only one 'source' directory. Which also explains why this works: $ LANG=C apt-get source python-twisted Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Picking 'twisted' as source package instead of 'python-twisted' Need to get 1661kB of source archives. Get:1 http://debian.mirrors.crysys.hu sid/main twisted 10.1.0-1 (dsc) [1226B] Get:2 http://debian.mirrors.crysys.hu sid/main twisted 10.1.0-1 (tar) [1648kB] Get:3 http://debian.mirrors.crysys.hu sid/main twisted 10.1.0-1 (diff) [12.2kB] Fetched 1661kB in 0s (1907kB/s) dpkg-source: info: extracting twisted in twisted-10.1.0 dpkg-source: info: unpacking twisted_10.1.0.orig.tar.gz dpkg-source: info: applying twisted_10.1.0-1.diff.gz dpkg-source: info: upstream files that have been modified: twisted-10.1.0/twisted/scripts/tap2deb.py > Previously, an arch:all package was in sync on all arches, but since > that often created uninstallabilities when foo (arch:any) depended on > foo-common (arch:all) of the same source version and foo was not built > yet, the ftp-masters changed that.

Based also on you previous paragraph it would mean that some binary package built from the source 'twisted' has not been built on amd64 (yet). Let's see... ... Oh, it seems the Maintainer uploaded 10.1.0-2 today and I'm unable to find the build status for 10.1.0-1 anymore, but according to packages.debian.org the culprits seem to be python-twisted-bin and python-twisted-bin-dbg and indeed, they are missing from the mirror. Thanks for the explanation, +1 informative ;) Regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic |
