Bug#535277: pbuilder: ia32-apt-get (amd64) introduces changes to /var/cache/apt/archives/

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.188
Severity: normal

Hi Junichi,

ia32-apt-get introduces changes to the /var/cache/apt/archives/ layout
by introducing /var/cache/apt/$ARCH/archives/ for amd64 and i386.
I'm not sure how this will affect operation of pbuilder.
Nor have I tried to "use" ia32-apt-get and see how it actually goes.

On the other hand I'm happily using a single /var/cache/apt/archives/
shared between my main system (amd64) and several amd64 and i386 pbuilders
for sid, squeeze, lenny (via BINDMOUNTS="/var/cache/apt/archives") and
an i386 schroot environment.
The cache is just never cleaned :-)
So there might be no need for separate caches in ia32-apt-get at all.
