[Bug 546820] [NEW] mysql-testsuite ships arch-dependent binaries in arch:all package

[Steve Langasek]

Public bug reported:

The newly-introduced mysql-testsuite package has several errors in it:

E: mysql-testsuite: description-synopsis-is-empty
W: mysql-testsuite: spelling-error-in-description mysql MySQL
E: mysql-testsuite: arch-independent-package-contains-binary-or-object ./usr/share/mysql-testsuite/lib/My/SafeProcess/my_safe_process
E: mysql-testsuite: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share ./usr/share/mysql-testsuite/lib/My/SafeProcess/my_safe_process
E: mysql-testsuite: unstripped-binary-or-object ./usr/share/mysql-testsuite/lib/My/SafeProcess/my_safe_process
E: mysql-testsuite: missing-dependency-on-libc needed by ./usr/share/mysql-testsuite/lib/My/SafeProcess/my_safe_process

These are largely due to the testsuite using a helper binary for
launching subprocesses at runtime.

I don't know why the testsuite wants a special binary handler for
launching subprocess, but this needs to be fixed by either:

- Fixing the perl module in the testsuite to not require a binary helper, or
- Marking the package as Architecture: any and installing the testsuite to /usr/lib instead of /usr/share.

In the process, please also fix the lintian errors regarding the package
description - and in the future please address such lintian errors
*before* uploading!
