Package: lintian Version: 2.86.0 Severity: normal Dear Lintian maintainers,
Lintian issues the tag package-contains-no-arch-dependent-files on packages without "Architecture: all" if they only contain architecture-independent files (at least this is my understanding). That is fine unless they have architecture-dependent dependencies (i. e. arch-dependent "Depends:" entries). In the latter case making the package architecture-dependent is required to implement architecture-dependent dependencies even though the package contents is purely architecture-independent (see Debian Policy Manual section 7.1). Best regards, Peter -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-9-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
