Package: dh-autoreconf
Version: 6
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
While preparing NMU for gnome-themes-standard (#661471), I find the package
fails to build twice in a row, with the following message in the second round:
---8<---
dpkg-source: info: local changes detected, the modified files are:
gnome-themes-standard-3.4.2/config.guess
gnome-themes-standard-3.4.2/config.sub
dpkg-source: error: aborting due to unexpected upstream changes, see
/tmp/gnome-themes-standard_3.4.2-1.1.diff.XGhYQM
dpkg-source: info: you can integrate the local changes with dpkg-source --commit
---8<---
Checking the build log of the first round, I find two efforts to update
config.{guess,sub}, one by dh_autoreconf from autoreconf.mk, and the other
from CDBS buildcore.mk, trying to copy config.{guess,sub} directly from
autotools-dev with backups:
---8<---

dh_autoreconf seems to take precedence. So, no matter how buildcore.mk tries
to back up the files, it backs up the updated contents.
The debian/rules of gnome-themes-standard is like this:
---8<---
#!/usr/bin/make -f
include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/autoreconf.mk
include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk
...
---8<---
As autoreconf.mk is included first, it takes precedence over buildcore.mk
for "post-patches" and "reverse-config" targets. If I insert an include
statement for buildcore.mk before it, the problem will be fixed.
However, I think it's better to add the include line in autoreconf.mk,
so that all CDBS packages should be similarly fixed at once.
Regards,
