So: How is it > possible that you (Lucas) found so few packages that didn't build? Hi, I indeed ran into many bugs already filed by Niels, and only filed bugs for the packages where bugs were missing. It seems that, when bugs were missing, lintian was unable to detect the missing targets. So that's a bug in lintian (it fails to detect that those 9 packages are missing build-indep). Cloning accordingly. Also, the lintian page[1] includes many packages that are missing build-indep, but don't build any Architecture:all package. That's still a bug in the packages (as build-indep is required even in that case) but I wouldn't detect it as I restricted my test to packages building Arch:all binaries. Maybe it could make sense for lintian to distinguish those two cases (missing build-indep and building arch:all vs missing build-indep and not building arch:all). Finally, it seems that dpkg still has a workaround for missing build-indep for packages building only Arch:all binaries. For example, see this log for libgtk2-ex-podviewer-perl_0.18-1: > dpkg-buildpackage > ----------------- > > dpkg-buildpackage: info: source package libgtk2-ex-podviewer-perl > dpkg-buildpackage: info: source version 0.18-1 > dpkg-buildpackage: info: source distribution unstable > dpkg-buildpackage: info: source changed by Ryan Niebur <ryanrya...@gmail.com> > dpkg-source --before-build libgtk2-ex-podviewer-perl-0.18 > fakeroot debian/rules clean > dh clean > dh_testdir > dh_auto_clean > dh_clean > dpkg-buildpackage: warning: debian/rules must be updated to support the > 'build-arch' and 'build-indep' targets (at least 'build-indep' seems to be > missing) > debian/rules build > dh build > dh_testdir > dh_update_autotools_config > dh_auto_configure That's why I did not run into more failures. [1] https://lintian.debian.org/tags/debian-rules-missing-recommended-target.html Grepping my build logs for the above warning message, the following 540 packages are missing build-indep (and building
