binary-all packages seem to be ignored by apt-get

[mzupan]

I'm trying to debug a problem even though the Releases file looks ok. Any binary-all package in my repo generated by deb-s3 isn't picked up

[root@mysql1 /etc/apt]# apt-get update

My Releases file looks like

Also might want to add this to the help as it is a hacky way to fix my problem. I just told deb-s3 that the packages were amd64

     # validate we have them
      error("No architcture given and unable to determine one for #{file}. " +
            "Please specify one with --arch [i386,amd64].") unless arch

That isn't in the --help at all

Feel free to close this if you think this isn't a deb-s3 issue

I had noticed this recently, but haven't written a fix. There is no "binary-all" handling in apt. You can simply upload the image again, and specify "--arch=amd64" or "--arch=i386" for whichever one you need it on, or do both.

I need to add handling where if the arch is all, it needs to update both package lists rather than writing one for "binary-all".

ok that solution works fine then.. I was almost sure it was in apt since everything deb-s3 was generating was valid
