User1: Does precise amd64 build the arch-dependent *and* arch-independent portions of a package?
User2: User1 No, Launchpad always builds the arch-independent packages on i386.
User1: User2 That didn't seem to happen on https://launchpad.net/~saiarcot895/+archive/chromium-dev/+build/5310554. It tried to build arch-indep stuff, but failed, since the dependencies weren't met. This, however, compiled successfully for Quantal amd64 and Raring amd64
User2: User1 dpkg-buildpackage before Ubuntu 12.10 always calls 'debian/rules build', as the separate build-arch/build-indep are relatively new.
User2: binary-arch/binary-indep have existed for a long time, but build-arch/build-indep are relatively new
User2: You can reproduce this failure on any Ubuntu 12.04 LTS system.
User1: User2 ah, ok, so I need to edit the rules file to adjust for this.
