dpkg: warning: obsolete option '--print-installation-architecture'

[Scott Kitterman]

Got the following warning doing a Kubuntu Karmic Alpha 3 upgrade test:

Setting up xserver-xorg-core (2:1.6.1.901-2ubuntu2) ...
dpkg: warning: obsolete option '--print-installation-architecture', please use '--print-architecture' instead.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Hi kitterman,

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (and maybe Xorg.0.log.old) file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.

[This is an automated message. Apologies if it has reached you inappropriately; please just reply to this message indicating so.]

This is a minor packaging bug. The standard X stuff from the script
doesn't apply.

[Robert Hooker (sarvatt)]

it's from debian/xsfbs/xsfbs.sh in almost all x packages, its harmless and the option is not used for anything at least.

http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-xorg/xserver/xorg-server.git;a=commit;h=7deebf983f53c505bc25171ab77fdc408f250a6e

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Agreed it's harmless for now, but eventually obsolete options go away.

[Robert Hooker (sarvatt)]

Adding all packages this bug effects that I have found so we can track it. fglrx-installer is a litle more serious than the xsfbs.sh users, it uses the --print-installation-architecture output to determine the diversionvon amd64 machines in debian/xorg-driver-fglrx.preinst

if [ `dpkg --print-installation-architecture` = "amd64" ]; then
        HAS_LIB32="yes"
fi

  [ Timo Aaltonen ]
  * Merge from Debian unstable. (LP: #403316)

xorg-server (2:1.6.2.901-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release candidate.
  * Bump mesa Build-Depends to >= 7.5 to fix DRI2 madness again,
    closes: #538637.

xorg-server (2:1.6.2-1) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Brice Goglin ]
  * New upstream release.
    + Fixes dri2 madness introduced in previous upload
      (closes: #534522, #536019, #534766, #534771, #534890).
    + Fixes xkb bogus length in write keyboard desc, closes: #529625.

    + Pull upstream server-1.6-branch up to commit 606f6dba.
  * Bump serverminver to 2:1.6.2 for the dri2 upstream changes in the
    previous upload.

  [ Julien Cristau ]
  * Bump xserver-xorg-dev's dependency on dri2proto to >= 2.1 for the same
    reason.
  * Don't set PCI_TXT_IDS_DIR, we don't use that anymore.
  * xserver-xorg-core.bug.script: add a newline between X log and lshal

xorg-server (2:1.6.1.901-3) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Julien Cristau ]
  * xvfb-run: don't pass the magic cookie to xauth on the command line
    (CVE-2009-1573; closes: #526678). Thanks, Loïc Minier!
  * xvfb-run: use mktemp to create the temporary directory.
  * Change default for ExaOptimizeMigration to false. This option still
    causes visual corruption in some cases. Thanks, Michel Dänzer!
  * Only include hal info for keyboards, mice, touchpads and tablets in the
    bug script.
  * In the bug script, grep dmesg for agp in addition to drm.
  * Add patch stolen from Fedora to disable the fbdev driver when it's loaded
    together with a PCI or SBUS driver, instead of calling FatalError (closes:
    #508476).
  * Add patch stolen from Fedora to try and detect the primary PCI device by
    mapping the legacy VGA bios and comparing the vendor and device ids.
    Previously if there was more than one VGA device and the config didn't
    specify BusIDs, the server would just fail to start, so this hack should
    improve things.
  * Update configure options:
    + use --enable-xvfb instead of --enable-vfb
    + drop --disable-builtin-fonts, --enable-xtrap, --disable-kdrive-vesa,
      --disable-lbx, --disable-xprint, --disable-xorgconfig, --disable-xorgcfg
      which don't exist anymore
    + use --disable-config-hal and --disable-dri on hurd-i386
    + reorder options to match configure.ac, and use explicit
      --enable/--disable instead of using the defaults / autodetection
  * Don't recommend xfonts-base. libXfont provides builtin versions of the
    fixed and cursor fonts, which are the only required ones. Keep xfonts-*
    packages in Suggests for xserver-xorg-core.
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.2 now that we have README.source.
  * Drop Build-Conflicts on xlibs-static-dev; it's only in oldstable at this
    point.
  * Pull from upstream server-1.6-branch as of June...

For fglrx, this has been committed upstream: http://www.phorogit.com/index.php?p=fglrx-packaging.git&a=commitdiff&h=0e3e4c5cf7a5e61bb469418198af87ec9e5f18f6&hb=adfa18957ee8b97956f1c5ba9e0c15cf57123ee0

It won't show up in an Ubuntu upstream release for a few months though.

xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (1:0.0.10~git+20090823+569a17a-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * Merge package from Debian experimental. Remaining Ubuntu changes:
    + debian/control:
      - Remove mention of using module-assistant; we have a DKMS source package

      - Generate snapshot-date in get-orig-source
    + debian/patches/01_include_snapshot_date
      - Use snapshot-date included by get-orig-source to define NV_DRIVER_DATE
        in configure. Helps upstream identify obsolete drivers with Xorg.log
    + debian/xsfbs/*
      - Update build-system helper from pkg-xorg. No longer uses deprecated
        --print-instalation-architecture. (LP: #403316)
