Package: src:lilo Version: 1:24.2-1 User: sanv...@debian.org Usertags: binary-indep Severity: important
Dear maintainer: I tried to build this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A" (i.e. only architecture-independent packages), and it failed: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [...] debian/rules build-indep dh build-indep dh_testdir -i dh_auto_configure -i debian/rules override_dh_auto_build make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>' dh_auto_build make -j1 make[2]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>' ./checkit GCC version 3.3.5 or later is required gcc version 5.2.1 [... snipped ...] make[2]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/hooks' make -C sample install make[2]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/sample' mkdir -p $DESTDIR/etc install -m 0644 lilo.example.conf $DESTDIR/etc/lilo.conf_example make[2]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/sample' make -C scripts install make[2]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/scripts' mkdir -p $DESTDIR/usr/sbin install -m 0755 liloconfig $DESTDIR/usr/sbin install -m 0755 lilo-uuid-diskid $DESTDIR/usr/sbin make[2]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/scripts' make -C man install make[2]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/man' mkdir -p $DESTDIR/usr/share/man/man5 for MF in lilo.conf; do \ install -m 0644 $MF.5 $DESTDIR/usr/share/man/man5; \ done mkdir -p $DESTDIR/usr/share/man/man8 for MF in keytab-lilo lilo-uuid-diskid lilo liloconfig mkrescue; do \ install -m 0644 $MF.8 $DESTDIR/usr/share/man/man8; \ done make[2]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/man' make -C dos install make[2]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/dos' if [ -d $DESTDIR/dosC/boot -a -f lilo.com ]; then \ cp lilo.com $DESTDIR/dosC/boot; fi make[2]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/dos' make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>' debian/rules override_dh_install make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>' dh_install Set execute flag to chattr-lilo hook scripts chmod 0755 debian/lilo/usr/lib/lilo/hooks/kernel/*/chattr-lilo chmod: cannot access 'debian/lilo/usr/lib/lilo/hooks/kernel/*/chattr-lilo': No such file or directory debian/rules:20: recipe for target 'override_dh_install' failed make[1]: *** [override_dh_install] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>' debian/rules:10: recipe for target 'binary-indep' failed make: *** [binary-indep] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary-indep gave error exit status 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry not to have a fix, as I am reporting many bugs similar to this one. The common hints are: * If the only architecture-independent packages are dummy transitional ones and they were released with jessie, the easy fix is to drop them now. * When using "dh", it is allowed to use (independently) optional targets override_dh_foo-arch and override_dh_foo-indep (for several values of "foo"). Once that both "dpkg-buildpackage -A" and "dpkg-buildpackage -B" work properly, the package would be suitable to be uploaded in source-only form if you wish. Thanks.
