[pkg-lynx-maint] Builds for "lynx" not starting on most architectures (but not all)

[Axel Beckert]

Hi,

I'm baffled why https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=lynx
still shows "No entry in … database, check Packages-arch-specific" for
most architectures after more than one day after the upload.

Things I checked so far:

* There's one arch:any package in the source package lynx.

* The referenced
  https://buildd.debian.org/quinn-diff/sid/Packages-arch-specific
  nowhere contains the string "lynx".

* The package previously was only in experimental (except many years
  ago when there were both, lynx and lynx-cur source packages) and
  built fine there (in experimental) for at least some of these
  architectures, e.g.
  https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=lynx&arch=arm64

Some background:

* We (the Debian Lynx Packaging Team) recently renamed src:lynx-cur to
  src:lynx and this is its first upload to unstable after the
  renaming. (As mentioned there were two uploads of src:lynx to
  experimental before that.)

* With that upload we also swapped the lynx and lynx-cur binary
  packages. Previously (in src:lynx-cur), lynx was the transitional
  arch:all package and lynx-cur was the actual arch:any package. Now
  it's the other way round: lynx is the arch:any package and lynx-cur
  is the transitional arch:all package. (See
  https://bugs.debian.org/490265)

* The previous arch:any package has been split into an arch:any
  package and an arch:all package called lynx-common. (See
  https://bugs.debian.org/797442)

I can't imagine that any of these changes could cause such a strange
buildd/wanna-build behaviour, but I guess somewhere there's the rub.

Any help or hint is appreciated.

P.S.: I'm not subscribed to the debian-wb-team list, but to the
pkg-lynx-maint list. Reply-To is set to both lists.
