FTBFS because of empty binary-arch target in debian/rules file

[Fabrice Coutadeur]

As in Debian, ia32-libs-tools FTBFS because of a wrong binary-arch target in debian/rules. The content of binary-indep should be put in binary-arch, and packages ia32-libs-tools and ia32-archive should be changed from any/all to amd64 ia64 as this package doesn't make sense for non 64bits platforms.

This is the log:

I've been able to build this package in my PPA (I had to, as I was able to build the Debian version in my sbuild chroot).
Here is the log: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/23403689/buildlog_ubuntu-jaunty-amd64.ia32-libs-tools_11ubuntu1~ppa_FULLYBUILT.txt.gz

A soon as the fix is confirmed, I'll send the patch to Debian.

As far as I can tell this looks good - do you think you can attach it to the Debian report too?

[Fabrice Coutadeur (fabricesp)]

Done with submittodebian :-)
