Subject: pidgin-hotkeys: FTBFS when built with dpkg-buildpackage -A (no binary artifacts)

Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2015 11:18:06 +0000

Package: src:pidgin-hotkeys
Version: 0.2.4-1.2
User: sanvila@debian.org
Usertags: binary-indep
Severity: important

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(i.e. only architecture-independent packages), and it failed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

tags 805957 + patch
thanks

Probably the best way to fix this would be to switch to "dh",
but in the meantime, here is a trivial patch which should also work.

Thanks.

Greetings.

I have the ok from the Release Managers to consider this issue as RC
for stretch. I'm going to wait at least one week before raising
this to "serious".

There is a patch available for this bug. If you need someone to make
an upload, please ask for a sponsor in debian-mentors.

Thanks.
