Package: debhelper Version: 13.11.4 Severity: normal In the Salsa CI for ncurses a rather strange failure happens in the reprotest job[1]:
,---- | dh_missing -i --fail-missing | dh_missing: warning: usr/lib32/libncurses.so exists in debian/tmp but is not installed to anywhere (related file: "debian/tmp/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so") | dh_missing: warning: usr/lib32/libncursesw.so exists in debian/tmp but is not installed to anywhere (related file: "debian/tmp/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncursesw.so") | dh_missing: error: missing files, aborting | | While detecting missing files, dh_missing noted some files with a similar name to those | that were missing. This error /might/ be resolved by replacing references to the | missing files with the similarly named ones that dh_missing found - assuming the content | is identical. | | As an example, you might want to replace: | * debian/tmp/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so | with: | * usr/lib32/libncurses.so | in a file in debian/ or as argument to one of the dh_* tools called from debian/rules. | (Note it is possible the paths are not used verbatim but instead directories | containing or globs matching them are used instead) | | Alternatively, add the missing file to debian/not-installed if it cannot and should not | be used. | | The following debhelper tools have reported what they installed (with files per package) | * dh_install: lib32ncurses-dev (21), lib32ncurses6 (8), lib32ncursesw6 (8), lib32tinfo6 (4), lib64ncurses-dev (1), lib64ncurses6 (0), lib64ncursesw6 (0), lib64tinfo6 (0), libncurses-dev (29), libncurses6 (8), libncursesw6 (8), libncursesw6-udeb (2), libtinfo6 (4), libtinfo6-udeb (2), ncurses-base (46), ncurses-bin (4), ncurses-doc (1), ncurses-examples (1), ncurses-term (1) | * dh_installdocs: lib32ncurses-dev (0), lib32ncurses6 (0), lib32ncursesw6 (0), lib32tinfo6 (0), lib64ncurses-dev (0), lib64ncurses6 (0), lib64ncursesw6 (0), lib64tinfo6 (0), libncurses-dev (0), libncurses6 (0), libncursesw6 (0), libtinfo6 (0), ncurses-base (1), ncurses-bin (0), ncurses-doc (3), ncurses-examples (0), ncurses-term (0) | If the missing files are installed by another tool, please file a bug against it. | When filing the report, if the tool is not part of debhelper itself, please reference the | "Logging helpers and dh_missing" section from the "PROGRAMMING" guide for debhelper (10.6.3+). | (in the debhelper package: /usr/share/doc/debhelper/PROGRAMMING.gz) | Be sure to test with dpkg-buildpackage -A/-B as the results may vary when only a subset is built | If the omission is intentional or no other helper can take care of this consider adding the | paths to debian/not-installed. | make: *** [debian/rules:489: binary-indep] Error 25 | make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... `---- The offending two files are created in the install-arch target in debian/rules, installed in the first two lines of the lib32ncurses-dev.install file, and since "make" even finished the binary-arch target I could download the artifacts[2] and convince myself that they landed in the lib32ncurses-dev package as intended. I recall that I had seen this error occasionally in my local builds, but was (and still am) not able to reproduce it :-(. Maybe there is also an error in the ncurses package that I do not see. Any help is appreciated. 1. https://salsa.debian.org/debian/ncurses/-/jobs/4378348 2. https://salsa.debian.org/debian/ncurses/-/jobs/4378348/artifacts/download
