[Pkg-varnish-devel] Bug#865420: libvarnishapi-dev: not installable for foreign architectures

[Helmut Grohne]

Package: libvarnishapi-dev
Version: 5.0.0-7
Tags: patch
User: helmutg at debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap
Control: affects -1 + src:collectd src:nagios-plugins-contrib src:varnish-agent src:varnish-modules

The packages listed under affects cannot be cross built, because they
depend on the host architecture python through libvarnishapi-dev. Python
is not installable for the host architecture. Looking into
libvarnishapi-dev, it seems that the dependency is meant to provide a
Python for running vmodtool.py. A host architecture python (if it could
be installed) cannot be executed though. Thus it seems likely, that
libvarnishapi-dev wants an executable Python and not a Python that
matches its own architecture. That is done by annotating the python
dependency with :any. Please consider applying the attached patch.
