Impact of [linux-any] when pbuilding packages on powerpc for squeeze

2012-05-16 Thread e20100633
Hello, I would like to submit to the list a problem I encounter when I create packages of emacs-snapshot (from http://emacs.naquadash.org by Julien Danjou) on Debian squeeze (powerpc) with pbuilder. After editing /etc/apt/sources.list with the right deb-src (stable), I used apt-get source emacs-s

Hello again, just for being sure that I'm ok with the process, I just tested it on my other box, which is an i386 under wheezy. I grabbed emacs-snapshot-20120502 Debian stable sources (the same I used on powerpc) and configured pbuilder with DISTRIBUTION=squeeze; so my chroot based on base.tgz is
