Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
The debmake command, which internally uses dpkg-depcheck, fails
as follows in the bookworm/sid environment.
$ debmake -j -a package.tar.gz
...
Can't exec "tempfile": No such file or directory at
/usr/bin/dpkg-depcheck line 375.
...
I was just following an instruction written here:
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debmake-doc/ch06.en.html#joption
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
The error log mentioned above reveals that dpkg-depcheck went
wrong for some reason. After some investigation, I found that
tempfile command is still used in the dpkg script file, though
the tempfile command has been obsolete since debianutils (5.0-1).
To address this issue, I created a simple patch, which just
replaces tempfile with mktemp, following the guideline shown in
the BUGS section in its manpage:
https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/debianutils/tempfile.1.en.html
For the created patch, please kindly see the attachment.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Without any modification, dpkg-depcheck fails with the latest
debianutils package (5.5-1) provided.
$ dpkg-depcheck ls
Can't exec "tempfile": No such file or directory at
/usr/bin/dpkg-depcheck line 375.
Use of uninitialized value $file in scalar chomp at
/usr/bin/dpkg-depcheck line 377.
Use of uninitialized value $file in substitution (s///) at
/usr/bin/dpkg-depcheck line 378.
Use of uninitialized value $strace_cmd[6] in system at
/usr/bin/dpkg-depcheck line 384.
strace: Can't fopen '': No such file or directory
Use of uninitialized value $strace_cmd[6] in join or string at
/usr/bin/dpkg-depcheck line 385.
Running strace failed (command line:
strace -e trace=open,openat,execve -f -q -o ls
* What outcome did you expect instead?
The dpkg-depcheck successfully determine packages used to run a
command in the latest sid environment as of filing this report.
