2013-04-05 18:23:24 Julian Taylor description now that we have armhf in the qa jenkins builds we now get failures due to uninstallable packages. See https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Raring/view/AutoPkgTest/job/raring-adt-python-scipy-armhf/ Here openblas does not install because it does not exist for != x86,ppc The most logical way to fix this is to properly support the dpkg dependency syntax including architecture qualifications. Then autopkgtest can simply skip the tests where the used architecture is excluded in a dependency. now that we have armhf in the qa jenkins builds we now get failures due to uninstallable packages.

Alternatively one could extend the spec to add an Architecture field.
