thanks so the patch was now applyable and so testable. (:
> scripts/package/builddeb script was setting the host machine $arch
in the KERNEL/debian/control prior to an invocation of
dpkg-gencontrol. The patch modifies the script to guarantee the
correct debian arch for the target is written to the control file
instead. The issue originally arose in the 2.6.38 series.
hmm don't be shy to use line-breaks in the desc for next times..

rudimentary testing showed, that `make deb-pkg` works,
but `make ARCH=i386 deb-pkg` on an amd64 Debian box seems borked:
+ dpkg-gencontrol -isp -DArchitecture=i386
-plinux-headers-2.6.39-rc3+
-P/media/data/mattems/src/linux-2.6/debian/hdrtmp
dpkg-gencontrol: error: current host architecture 'amd64' does not
appear in package's architecture list (i386)
at a second look your patch is just wrong the arch overriding is
currently correctly done in create_package(), with the debian/control
file having the host arch written to it.
so please post what exactly you were trying to build in the first
place?
When cross compiling for an arm on an i386 machine, dpkg-gencontrol
fails. I am currently on the road and my internet connection is not
allowing me to pull Linus's kernel onto my laptop. If you will permit,
I'll use the latest kernel from Ubunutu for the (ARM) Beagleboard
(2.6.38), since I have it with me already. I worked with the latest
kernel at home this past weekend and the /scripts/packages/buildeb file
was the same in both versions (i.e. I can apply the patch to the 2.6.38
or 2.6.39 versions).
Here is the original 'make' command:
make ARCH=arm LOCALVERSION=-x1 CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-
KDEB_PKGVERSION=1.0cross deb-pkg
Here is how it fails:
dpkg-gencontrol: error: current host architecture 'armel' does not
appear in package's architecture list (i386)
make[1]: *** [deb-pkg] Error 255
make: *** [deb-pkg] Error 2
Immediately after the failure, the debian/control file contains the
following section:
Package: linux-headers-2.6.38.2-x1
Provides: linux-headers, linux-headers-2.6
Architecture: i386
Description: Linux kernel headers for 2.6.38.2-x1 on i386
This package provides kernel header files for 2.6.38.2-x1 on i386
Since I am cross-compiling for an ARM machine, I don't think I want
kernel headers for i386. After my patch is applied, the relevant fields
say 'armel' and the deb-pkg process executes to successful completion.
I will pull Linus's kernel at my first opportunity, but I hope this
answer helps.

Robert Gordon
