Version: 3.10.8

Severity: important
Dear maintainer:
I tried to build this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(i.e. only architecture-independent packages), and it failed:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
fakeroot debian/rules binary-indep
make: Nothing to be done for 'binary-indep'.
dpkg-genchanges -A >../pcp_3.10.8_all.changes
dpkg-genchanges: error: binary build with no binary artifacts found; cannot
distribute
dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-genchanges gave error exit status 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This usually happens because there is a binary-indep target in debian/rules
which is either empty or does not do anything useful.
If all the arch-independent packages are dummy transitional packages released
with jessie,
the easy fix is to drop them now. If not, debian/rules should be modified so
that the
binary-indep target generates the architecture independent packages (and only
those).
After checking that both "dpkg-buildpackage -A" and "dpkg-buildpackage -B" work
properly, this package will be suitable to be uploaded in source-only form if
you wish
(I recommend that you try it).
Thanks.
