Package: debhelper
Version: 8.9.9
Severity: normal
Hi Joey,
I've spotted a bug in the current dh when using custom
overrides with -arch and -indep suffixes.
Example: if I run "fakeroot dh binary-arch", then "-a" is set in
@options, and put in DH_INTERNAL_OPTIONS for child commands, including
make. The same applies to -indep sequences.
The bug is in what happens when running plain "binary", which will
then run both -arch and -indep rules, but *without* setting
"-a" or "-a" in @options, so DH_INTERNAL_OPTIONS lacks the setting.
This means that those rules will run on *all* packages, not being
restricted to either arch or indep packages.
Workaround: add -i or -a to the dh_foo commands being invoked.
Fix: Explicitly set -i or -a in run_override() if not already set.
Example:
% dh binary --no-act | egrep '(arch|indep)$'
debian/rules install-arch
debian/rules override_dh_auto_install-arch
debian/rules override_dh_auto_install-indep
debian/rules override_dh_installchangelogs-arch
debian/rules override_dh_installchangelogs-indep
debian/rules override_dh_installdeb-arch
debian/rules override_dh_installdeb-indep
% dh binary-arch --no-act | egrep '(arch|indep)$'
debian/rules install-arch
debian/rules override_dh_installdeb-arch
override_dh_installdeb-arch:
dh_installdeb -a
# Override autogenerated conffiles
$(INSTALL_DATA) debian/initscripts.conffiles \
$(inittmp)/DEBIAN/conffiles
sh debian/deps-mount >> debian/initscripts.substvars
override_dh_installdeb-indep:
dh_installdeb -i
# Neither rc, rcS nor README are conffiles
$(RM) $(rctmp)/DEBIAN/conffiles
Without the -a or -i, dh_installdeb works on all packages.
Regards,
Roger
