[tex-live] tlpsrc2tlpdb bugs?

[Norbert Preining]

Hi,

first of all, for sure repository-setup is not the perfect description.
And many things are hidding in the attic ...

You seem to have arch depending packages, could that be? 
What are the files you are having in your tlpkg/tlpsrc?
Haa, reading the code I see that there can be really a problem. 

I assume you dont have any
	.../tl/bin/<ARCH>/...
file, right? In this case the code in 
	TLTREE: sub _initialize_lines
does not find any architecture.

But as far as I see that should not be a problem in your case. Please
tell us if the generated texlive.tlpdb is actually the one you wanted,
as Karl suggested.


Best wishes

Norbert
