Bug#853886: cowbuilder: doesn't create _amd64.changes for binary-indep-only or source-only builds

[Jens Reyer]

Package: cowbuilder
Version: 0.84
Severity: important


Hi,

after the recent cowbuilder update my gbp build script started to fail
for binary-indep-only (-A) and source-only builds (-S), complaining
about a missing *_amd64.changes file (see log below).

I assume the recent changes in cowbuilder cause this, but I'm not
totally sure about that.  I also failed to find information what the
arch in the .changes file must be.  I assume it's the host arch.
Otherwise I'd say git-pbuilder is looking for the wrong file.

Personally I see this as rc bug, but that's your call.

Thanks for taking care of cowbuilder!
