The included file /usr/share/doc/libcommoncpp2-dev/examples/Makefile.gz
various paths dependent on the build environment:

  ACLOCAL·=·${SHELL}·'/build/2/libcommoncpp2-1.8.1/2nd/autoconf/missing'·aclocal-1.16

  EGREP·=·/bin/grep·-E
  vs.
  EGREP·=·/usr/bin/grep·-E


The attached patch fixes this by removing the Makefile from the package,
while preserving the Makefile.in and Makefile.am files needed to
regenerate the Makefile should the user wish to use it.


Thanks for maintaining libcommoncpp2!

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] debian/rules: Remove example Makefile.

The Makefile contains information specific to the build environment
such as build paths and paths to specific binaries. Remove it as it
would need to be regenerated on the end user system in order to be
used.
