The justification is a bit strange for serious.
I mean, APT doesn't fail to build from source,
it is another package which can't be build from source
(and only if it has indep build dependencies)
if you trust that APT downloads all build dependencies…
But okay, i guess many people/applications will depend on it,
so let us walk the "unfit for release" path. ;)
The bug itself is a simple typo, which results in assigning the wrong
default value for a configuration option (and the wrong value for
another variable which has no practical effect for now).
Both are too uncommon so they were unnoticed since 18. Feb…
(= the very first experimental 0.7.26 version…).
So, nice catch, thanks!
You can work around it in 99,9% of all cases until a fixed APT is
uploaded by using --no-arch-only as additional commandline switch.
0,1% is reserved for packages depending multiarch style on
package:{any,native} - which isn't official allowed by now.
Best regards,
David Kalnischkies
