[Bug 1965800] [NEW] debhelper in focal-backports not usable for i386 package building (missing dependency)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by David Ward (dpward):

focal-backports contains debhelper 13.5.2ubuntu1~bpo20.04.1. This is an
architecture-independent package, but it depends on debugedit, which is
architecture-dependent.

The debugedit package exists in focal-universe for amd64, but not for
i386. As a result, Launchpad is not able to build PPA packages targeting
focal i386 that require debhelper-compat (= 13).


This would appear to be an oversight. It does not affect bionic, hirsuite, impish, or jammy; all of these contain the debugedit:i386 package. (It was moved from universe to main at some point after focal.)
