[pkg-crosswire-devel] Bug#910336: sword: fails to build except on arch: all

Version: 1.7.3.1+dfsg-1
Severity: serious

sword fails to build:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=sword

It looks like the problem is that it doesn't handle builds where the
arch-independent package libsword-common isn't built.

By the way, sword 1.8.1 was released in January.
