Since commit 491b146d4c ("kbuild: builddeb: Eliminate debian/arch
use"), direct execution of debian/rules results in the following error:
dpkg-architecture: error: unknown option 'DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH'
The current code:
dpkg-architecture -a$DEB_HOST_ARCH -qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH
... does not look sensible because:
- For this code to work correctly, DEB_HOST_ARCH must be pre-defined,
which is true when the packages are built via dpkg-buildpackage.
In this case, DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH is also likely defined, hence there
is no need to query DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH in the first place.
- If DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH is undefined, DEB_HOST_ARCH is likely undefined
too. So, you cannot query DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH in this way. This is
mostly the case where debian/rules is directly executed.
When debian/rules is directly executed, querying DEB_HOST_MUCHARCH is
not enough because we need to know DEB_{BUILD,HOST}_GNU_TYPE as well.
All DEB_* variables are defined when the package build is initiated by
dpkg-buildpackage, but otherwise, let's call dpkg-architecture to set
all DEB_* environment variables.
This requires dpkg 1.20.6 or newer because --print-format option
was added in dpkg commit 7c54fa2b232e ("dpkg-architecture: Add a
--print-format option").
