[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#709270: sbuild: "Unknown option: build-arch"

[Christoph Biedl]

Package: sbuild
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

while giving some unsound parameters to sbuild, totally my fault, I
triggered an error message:

| E: Requested build architecture (amd64) and chroot architecture (i386) do not match.  Skipping build.
| I: Please specify the correct architecture with --build-arch, or use a chroot of the correct architecture

However, adding --build-arch just yields

| Unknown option: build-arch

It is not mentioned in sbuild's manpage and looking into the sources
of both wheezy and sid suggest, it isn't implemented either.

Can you please check/rectify?

Thanks,

    Christoph, trapped in "i386 not in arch list or does not match any arch wildcards"
