[Pkg-openmpi-maintainers] Bug#478427: openmpi: FTBFS (ppc64): current host architecture 'ppc64' does not appear in package's architecture list (alpha amd64 i386 ia64 powerpc sparc kfreebsd-i386 kfreebsd-amd64 hurd-i386)

[Andreas Jochens]

Package: openmpi
Version: 1.2.6-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

When building 'openmpi' on ppc64/unstable, I get the following error:

dh_shlibdeps -a -l/openmpi-1.2.6/debian/openmpi/usr/lib/openmpi/lib -Llibopenmpi1
dh_gencontrol -a
dpkg-gencontrol: error: current host architecture 'ppc64' does not appear in package's architecture list (alpha amd64 i386 ia64 powerpc sparc kfreebsd-i386 kfreebsd-amd64 hurd-i386)
dh_gencontrol: command returned error code 65280
make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2

With the attached patch 'openmpi' can be built on ppc64.

The patch adds 'ppc64' to the Architecture lines in debian/control.

Regards
Andreas Jochens
