Package: debhelper Version: 8.0.0 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/dh
(only) native dh_* "actions" are releflected within debian/*debhelper.log so subsequent calls to dh do not remake what has already successfully completed. But override_dh_X rules are not reported within *debhelper.log files, instead call to original tool (dh_X) is reflected within debhelper.log. Upon subsequent calls dh verifies presence of dh_X there, not of override_dh_X, and dh proceeds with calling subsequnt action instead of the failed override_dh_X (see example below). I guess dh should not reflect dh_X but rather override_dh_X within *debhelper.log files, and check accordingly. $> fakeroot dh binary dh_testdir dh_auto_configure debian/rules override_dh_auto_build dh_auto_build running build ... # and docs /usr/bin/make -C doc html make[1]: Entering directory `/home/yoh/proj/nipy/nipy-suite/nitime/doc' python ../tools/build_modref_templates.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "../tools/build_modref_templates.py", line 14, in <module> docwriter = ApiDocWriter(package) File "/home/yoh/proj/nipy/nipy-suite/nitime/tools/apigen.py", line 68, in __init__ self.package_name = package_name File "/home/yoh/proj/nipy/nipy-suite/nitime/tools/apigen.py", line 90, in set_package_name self.root_module = __import__(package_name) ImportError: No module named nitime make[1]: *** [api] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/yoh/proj/nipy/nipy-suite/nitime/doc' make: *** [override_dh_auto_build] Error 2 $> fakeroot dh binary debian/rules override_dh_auto_test pyversions: missing X(S)-Python-Version in control file, fall back to debian/pyversions pyversions: missing debian/pyversions file, fall back to supported versions -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (901, 'unstable'), (900, 'testing'), (300, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages debhelper depends on: ii binutils 2.20.1-13 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii dpkg-dev 1.15.8.5 Debian package development tools ii file 5.04-5 Determines file type using "magic" ii html2text 1.3.2a-15 advanced HTML to text converter ii man-db 2.5.7-3 on-line manual pager ii perl 5.10.1-14 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-base 5.10.1-14 minimal Perl system ii po-debconf 1.0.16 tool for managing templates file t debhelper recommends no packages.
