Subject: brickos: FTBFS when built with dpkg-buildpackage -A (No such file or directory)

Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2015 15:24:51 +0000

Package: src:brickos
Version: 0.9.0.dfsg-12
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:

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

Sorry not to have a fix, as I am reporting many bugs similar to
this one, but I can give some general hints:

* 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 works in all cases, even when binary-arch is not used (this is
what the "Architecture: all" autobuilder does). For that:
    
* If you are using debhelper, you might want to use options -a and -i
for dh_* commands so that they do not act on packages they do not
have to act.

* Also, if you are using dh, the (independently) optional targets
override_dh_foo-arch and override_dh_foo-indep (for several values
of "foo") may be useful to write a debian/rules which behaves exactly
as desired.


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 (you might want to try it).

Thanks.

Greetings.

I have the ok from the Release Managers to consider this issue as RC

I had a look, and while I do not quite understand the build system and why it
fail to create the directory it need to install, I applied this patch and got
the 'dpkg-buildpackage -A' build working:

Ok, now that you mention it, the bug is easy to explain:

Since I was doing "dpkg-buildpackage -A", this means we are creating
arch-independent packages only (i.e. Arch:all), so dh_installdirs does
not create debian/brickos because brickos is arch-dependent (i.e. Arch:any).

The proposed patch is probably ok as a workaround, but if this were my
package, I would drop dh_movefiles and would use override_dh_auto_install
to install into debian/tmp and then would use debian/*.install files
to determine which files go to which packages.

(That's probably the current trend, or the "orthodox way").

Thanks a lot.
