Package: debhelper
Version: 4.2.10
Severity: normal
I just ran across a package, namely libopengl-perl 0.54.alan1-2
(maintainer cc'ed), that does 'dh_installexamples examples/.'.
dh_installexamples looks at 'examples/.', calculates the basename as
'.', and does roughly 'cd examples/./.. && find . -type f ...', the
upshot being that it attempts to install the entire source tree into the
shipped examples directory. This causes dh_installexamples to descend
recursively down
debian/libopengl-perl/usr/share/doc/libopengl-perl/examples/debian/...
forever, so the package fails to build.
The intent of the dh_installexamples call is, I'm guessing, to install
the contents of the examples directory directly in
/usr/share/doc/libopengl-perl/examples rather than as one big nested
directory. Perhaps, instead of "cd $example/..", you could get
dirname($example) and cd to that?
The package apparently used to build. Buildd logs suggest that debhelper
4.2.4 was in use at the time; but this plain confuses me since the
relevant code apparently hasn't changed in that range. About the only
interesting environment variable I have set is
'DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE=CVS:.svn'.
Thanks,

Changes:
debhelper (6.0.1) unstable; urgency=low

* dh_installdocs/examples: Don't unnecessarily use the exclude code path.

install a directory ending with "/." (slashdot effect?) when exclusion is
enabled. Emulate the behavior of cp in this case. Closes: #253234
