Purging chroot-autobuild/build/buildd/xorg-options-editor-gtk-0.2ubuntu2

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

[I've marked this bug for inclusion in our oneiric bug queue. While technically this bug has not been re-confirmed against oneiric, I feel it is worth continued development attention. We will need to ask that it be re-confirmed once oneiric is further along, perhaps once we get closer to alpha.]

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

the package is has the Architecture field set to "all" and I can build it correctly on my 64bit system. I'll try in 32bit chroot

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Note that in oneiric it now fails with

debian/rules:9: /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/langpack.mk: No such file or directory

This is indeed obsolete, you should use gnome.mk or dh_translations (in dh-translations package).

Also, we should convert the packge to dh_python2.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Discussed with Alberto, and we found that it's best to just remove it entirely:
