2010-01-15 04:17:03 Emmet Hikory description Please enable libdrm-intel for ports architectures. It's a build-dependency of plymouth, so contributes to a plymouth FTBFS. Fedora makes available libdrm-2.4.6-6.fc11.ppc.rpm, demonstrating that this wouldn't be a change unique to Ubuntu. While it is unlikely that anyone has hardware with sparc/powerpc/armel/ia64 processors and the necessary graphics drivers to require this package, the package builds successfully and may even work. If anyone happens to have the hardware necessary to report a bug, then it demonstrates that the package should have been built. If nobody has the hardware, then it doesn't matter if it works. I believe this to be a less-invasive solution than attempting to special-case plymouth's code to conditionally build the intel bits only for linux-i386, linux-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, and kfreebsd-amd64.
