[L2Ork-dev] [PD] pd-l2ork 20121115 rc1 now available including deb -- please test and provide feedback

Your architecture descriptor in the control file is empty, which 
suggests Debian either has a fundamentally different version of 
dpkg-architecture (unlikely) or you don't have this tool installed (it 
might be that Debian has it as part of a separate optional package that 
has to be installed independently from other deb building tools).

The following is command that is used by Makefile to detect your 
architecture and populate this field:

dpkg-architecture

Run it first by itself and see if you even have it. The output should be 
something like:

DEB_BUILD_ARCH=amd64
DEB_BUILD_ARCH_OS=linux
DEB_BUILD_ARCH_CPU=amd64
DEB_BUILD_ARCH_BITS=64
DEB_BUILD_ARCH_ENDIAN=little
DEB_BUILD_GNU_CPU=x86_64
DEB_BUILD_GNU_SYSTEM=linux-gnu
DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE=x86_64-linux-gnu
DEB_BUILD_MULTIARCH=x86_64-linux-gnu
DEB_HOST_ARCH=amd64
DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS=linux
DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU=amd64
DEB_HOST_ARCH_BITS=64
DEB_HOST_ARCH_ENDIAN=little
DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU=x86_64
DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM=linux-gnu
DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE=x86_64-linux-gnu
DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH=x86_64-linux-gnu

If that goes well, try the actual command ran by Makefile:

dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_ARCH

The output should be your architecture, in my case:

amd64

Naturally, if you don't have the tool, install it.  When trying to 
rebuild the deb you can use lowercase -b option which is an incremental 
install (provided your immediate previous attempt was to build a deb 
rather than a script-based installer) that completes a lot quicker.

Hope this helps!
