Subject: mailman: reproducible build (usrmerge): embeds path of true found via PATH
Date: Sun, 2 Dec 2018 17:38:19 +0100
Package: mailman
Version: 2.1.29-1
Severity: normal
User: md@linux.it
Usertags: usrmerge

Dear Maintainer,

The package currently fails to build reproducibly on a merged-usr vs
non-merged system.

https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/mailman.html

In this case it seems to just be an *unused* variable in an *example*
file that's affected.

I'm not sure exactly what the best solution is, so here are a few
variants:

1. Pass TRUE=/bin/true to configure in debian/rules
2. Pass TRUE=foobar to configure in debian/rules
3. Patch out TRUE from templates/Makefile.in as it seems unused.
4. Consider if shipping the templates/Makefile* in examples
   is useful at all and thus if the file should simply be removed
   from the package staging directory before the package is
   finalized.

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson

Please see attached patch that removes the unused TRUE
from the shipped Makefile. (If you can confirm the Makefile
is pointless to ship, you might want to opt for stop shipping
the file instead.)
