[Bug 1165128] Re: support architecture specifiers in Depends:

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package autopkgtest - 2.3

---------------
autopkgtest (2.3) unstable; urgency=low


  * runner/adt-run.1: Fix bad "affect modify" wording. (LP: #1199500)
  * Drop hosts/chinstrap. We haven't actually used this in many years, it has
    been replaced with https://launchpad.net/auto-package-testing, Jenkins,
    and blocking migration to release until tests pass. (LP: #381210)
  * Promote apt-utils from Recommends to Depends:, to avoid test failures due
    to not finding apt-ftparchive. (LP: #1065874)
  * Promote pbuilder from Recommends: to Depends:, as we always call
    pbuilder-satisfydepends-classic. (LP: #1065874)
  * runner/adt-run: Stop explicitly checking for $HOME (with broken error
    message) when giving --gnupg-home, use os.path.expanduser() instead.
    (LP: #1065873)
  * runner/adt-run: Fix timeout --help output.
  * runner/adt-run: Fix bomb() to clean up the testbed before removing it.
    Afterwards (in cleanup()) we don't have a testbed object any more to run
    commands in. (LP: #1157292)
  * runner/adt-run: Fix UnicodeDecodeError crash if stderr contains non-ASCII
    characters. (LP: #1100283)
  * Add "allow-stderr" restriction for tests where re-routing or disabling
    stderr is impractical. (LP: #1197005)
  * runner-adt-run: Support architecture specifiers in Depends: field.
    (LP: #1165128)
  * runner/adt-run: Remove/fix some unused variables, spotted by pyflakes.

Title:
  support architecture specifiers in Depends:

Status in “autopkgtest” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  now that we have armhf in the qa jenkins builds we now get failures due to uninstallable packages.
  See https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Raring/view/AutoPkgTest/job/raring-adt-python-scipy-armhf/
  Here openblas does not install because it does not exist for != x86,ppc

  The most logical way to fix this is to properly support the dpkg dependency syntax as stated in the DEP8 spec. This includes architecture qualifications.
  Then autopkgtest can simply skip the tests where the used architecture is excluded in a dependency.
  Alternatively one could extend the spec to add an Architecture field.
