Subject: DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH warning on Debian 6 (squeeze)
Hi, Thanks for implementing this module. Unfortunately, I've run into an aesthetic problem. dpkg-architecture on Debian 6 doesn't support the DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH variable, and squawks about it: % perl -MPkgConfig -e 1 DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH is not a supported variable name at /usr/bin/dpkg-architecture line 214. As I'm using PkgConfig in a program (rather than in a build script such as Makefile.PL or Build.PL) this shows up every time the program is run. Any chance of quieting things down? Thanks! Diab

Yes, this is definitely something that I want to fix. I should be able to grep for it instead of using the -q option which will keep it working in 7 and make it work without complaint in 6.

I've uploaded a new dev version to CPAN which includes the fix as version 0.08120_01. I've tested it on one of my Debian 6 VMs that has dpkg-dev installed and I am not seeing the diagnostic message anymore. If you have a chance to try it out I would appreciate a report as it whether it fixes your problem. Either way I should be promoting this to a regular release in the next couple of days assuming no problems are raised from cpantesters.

Yes it does. Nice and quiet. Thanks!
