Subject: dpkg: [hurd] configure gets the architecture wrong

Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2000 18:37:36 +0100

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.7.1.1

Hi Wichert,

dpkg's configure gets the architecture wrong on the Hurd.
The correct GNU architecture it sees is i386-gnu0.2, and that makes it that
dpkg can't find it in the arhctable lookup. The awk command that looks for
the entry in the archtable should be modified so that it matches i386-gnu to
all i386-gnu* variants (in other words: it should be sufficient that the
archtable file entry is a prefix of the GNU architecture).

A quick hack would be to add another line for i386-gnu0.2, a bit messy but
it should work. The i386-gnu entry should not go, though, as it is needed
for cross compilation.

Apart from that, dpkg 1.7.1.1 compiles fine on the Hurd. I had to change the
ENOENT value to 2^30+2 of course. Would be nice to have this old bug fixed,
too.

Thanks,
Marcus

Subject: dpkg: Wrong installation arch on the new Hurd (improved uname detects processor model)

Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2002 19:14:23 +0200

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.10.9
Severity: important

It appears that current uname can detect processor model which is
not reflected in achtable. This leads to inability to install any
packages with newly compiled dpkg due to arch mismatch.

hurd:/usr/src# dpkg -i dselect_1.10.9_hurd-i386.deb 
dpkg: error processing dselect_1.10.9_hurd-i386.deb (--install):
 package architecture (hurd-i386) does not match system (i686-gnu0.3)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 dselect_1.10.9_hurd-i386.deb

I hope the patch below fixes the problem

/me bumps this to -done so it'll actually be closed as well.
