Package: dh-exec Version: 0.29 Severity: normal In a multi-binary package, if there is a dh-exec-install .install or .manpages file for one of the packages, then these files are not carried across and logged for dh_install so dh_missing fails if you use the other type of build.
For example, on the same source you have arch package foo and indep package foo-data and foo-data uses dh-exec, when building a arch-dependent (e.g. dpkg-buildpackage -B) will cause this issue. dh_install gets the renamed/moved file but cannot find it so doesn't log that file as not-installed (for the indep package). dh_missing sees the file in the original spot, notes there is not log for it and errors. So for a indep package when building a binary package what happens is: * dh-exec-install-rename says "I moved A to B" but doesn't * dh_install cannot find B so ignores it * dh_missing finds A and complains The fix is for dh-exec-install-rename to only change the file name/location if it actually does the work and use the original filename otherwise. -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.6.15-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_AU:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages dh-exec depends on: ii debhelper 13.15.3 ii libc6 2.37-15 ii libdpkg-perl 1.22.4 ii libpipeline1 1.5.7-1+b2 ii perl 5.38.2-3 dh-exec recommends no packages. dh-exec suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
