Ah. That depends. Is the package really architecture-independent? If it is, then the architecture has to be "all". The "any" architecture specifies that the binary package can be built on any architecture, the "all" means that the same (binary) package can be installed on all architectures. > Is this a problem? Should I ignore it? Only you can decide. Do you have i386-specific files in the binary package (the *.deb)? If yes, then no problem. > Will users on non-i386 be able to install this package? No. They will have to recompile it on their host architecture (or, if you upload your source package to Debian, they will have to wait for an autobuilder to build the appropriate arch-specific package). If it were "all", though, they would be able to install and use it just fine. Roland. -- Roland Mas Oshitemo damedara, hiite mina. -- Proverbe japonais
