Andreas Henriksson dixit:

>Recent versions of gobject-introspection should support multi-arch

Yes, but only recent versions. Plus, #699024 is still unfixed.

>and several packages makes use of that already.

Which was exactly the problem: the packages MUST use a versioned
Build-Depends, unless the feature is already in (old)stable!

Debian buildds are explicitly allowed to use older versions of
packages.


Michael Biebl dixit:

>Downgrading severity, since this doesn't affect any release architecture.

I am not exactly sure about this, since there is no guarantee
that all Debian buildds will use the newer version of gobject-
introspection to build the packages, for example if newer ones
get uploaded now, or for archive-wide rebuilds, or binNMUs, or
rebuilds within testing, etc.

Furthermore, wrong dependency information badly affects testing
transitions, too.

But I’ll leave this decision to the Release Team.

>>> Indeed, x32 has 1.40.0-2 only. Reopening, so you can fix this

I fixed this by uploading a newer version for x32.

>>> by using a versioned Build-Depends.

This is nevertheless still needed.

Ugh, MBF. Maybe we should ask on d-devel first.
Thanks for the analysis and dd-list already.

<igli> exceptions: a truly awful implementation of quite a nice idea.
<igli> just about the worst way you could do something like that, afaic.
<igli> it's like anti-design.  <mirabilos> that too… may I quote you on that?
<igli> sure, tho i doubt anyone will listen ;)
