[Pkg-zsh-devel] Question about your zsh 5.8-2ubuntu1 upload

[Axel Beckert]

Hi Steve,

a question about
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/465739232/zsh_5.8-2_5.8-2ubuntu1.diff.gz:

You've made two changes to debian/tests/control:

* Add libpcre3 as dependency to run-testsuite, and
* add a multiarch qualitfier to adequate.

I can clearly see where the latter comes from, but it is not
completely clear, why adding libpcre3 is related to cross-testing.

The only guess I have, is, that the libpcre3 pulled in by the
build-dependency on libpcre3-dev might have the wrong architecture
(native). Can you confirm that suspicion.

And if so, wouldn't it make more sense to add "needs-recommends" as
restriction instead — since libpcre3 is in Recommends?

Thanks in advance for an answer.

Once it's clear to me, where the libpcre3 comes from, I intent to
merge this change back into the Debian package.

		Regards, Axel
