Convert old-style dpkg-cross installations

Usage

dpkg-cross-convert --test dpkg-cross-convert -aarch --purge dpkg-cross-convert -aarch files ...

Overview

dpkg-cross-convert converts old-style (0.x) dpkg-cross installations of libraries and headers for cross compiling to the new format used with dpkg-cross 1.x. For more information on this conversion process and the usage of dpkg-cross-convert, please see /usr/doc/dpkg-cross/README.Debian.

Options

The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-').

-h, --help

Show summary of options.

-a, --arch architecture

Install for architecture architecture. This option is mandatory, except for --test.

--test

Just test if an old-style installation is present (for any architecture).

--purge

Remove any remainders of an old-style installation, so that dpkg-cross can be used to install new versions of packages that couldn't be converted.
