That complained:
charles@amanda:~/amanda$ git checkout -b 3_5my_branch origin/3_5
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by
checkout:
config/config.guess
config/config.sub
config/install-sh
Please commit your changes or stash them before you switch branches.

I removed the offending files, and that was fine. Am I incorrect in
assuming that "make distclean" should remove everything not managed by
the git repo?

That revealed two unmet dependencies, docbook-xsl and xsltproc. I added
those to my script.
I now get
--------------------------------------------------
dh_fixperms -v >> /home/charles/amanda/build/debian/dpkg.log 2>&1
# fix perms manually
chown -R amandabackup:disk debian/*/var/lib/*
chown: invalid user: ‘amandabackup:disk’
debian/rules:122: recipe for target 'binary-arch' failed
make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2
charles@amanda:~/amanda$
--------------------------------------------------
I can add those to my script. However, I wonder: the traditional
debian user is backup:backup. Should we not be using that?
Also, I noticed some messages about g_thread_* functions being
deprecated. I have already handled those for another application. If
you haven't already done so, shall I take a stab at it?
And with that, it looks like I'm there.

I have a tarball, and four .deb packages. No amanda common package?
With that, my setup script now looks like:
--------------------------------------------------
# A script to build out a minimal installation of debian such that we
# can build amanda on it. Much of this is installing tools.
# We install no editors.
# This should get you through ./autogen.
apt install git autogen automake libglib2.0-dev
# And this for ./configure && make.
apt install make dpkg-dev debhelper dump flex gettext gnuplot libtool bsd-mailx
mtx smbclient libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev libreadline-dev libssl-dev
bison swig docbook-xsl xsltproc
# Add the user that the build process expects. Oddly enough, it isn't
# backup:backup, the user that the debian package builds. I'm going to
# make this a regular user for now....
# To remove, "deluser --remove-home amandabackup".
adduser --disabled-password amandabackup
adduser amandabackup disk
if [ ! -d /home/amandabackup/.ssh ] ; then
echo Copying .ssh for user amandabackup
cp -rp /root/.ssh /home/amandabackup
chown -R amandabackup:amandabackup /home/amandabackup/.ssh
fi
--------------------------------------------------
And I'm not sure I need the .ssh in there. Does amanda ever use that
user?
