The ports list is actually not the right contact address, as buildd admins don't necessarily subscribe to those lists. The correct contact address is <arch>@buildd.debian.org. There is no canonical shortcut for this; if the package really needs to be rebuilt on all architectures, you need to contact the buildd admins for each architecture. Unofficially, if you contact Ryan, James, LaMont, Gerhard (Tonn, gt@d.o) and m68k@buildd.debian.org, you will have contacted the official contacts for all of the buildds. ;) > I can also reupload a new version of B, but it would be inappropriate > since nothing changed in that package. Nevertheless, this would certainly be the fastest and most efficient way to get the package requeued on all architectures. Well, you could set a build-conflicts: with the buggy version of package A, I suppose, so the upload has *some* changes in it... ;) -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
