Package: apt-build Version: 0.12.38 Severity: grave Tags: sid wheezy patch Justification: renders package unusable
Trying to install a package with apt-build, for example: # apt-build install hello it fails with: >W: Failed to fetch >file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository/dists/apt-build/Release Unable to find >expected entry 'main/binary-amd64/Packages' in Release file (Wrong >sources.list entry or malformed file) > >E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones >used instead. >Reading package lists... Done >E: The value 'apt-build' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release >is not available in the sources Subsequently, 'apt-get update' gives: W: Failed to fetch file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository/dists/apt-build/Release Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-amd64/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. I erased "/var/cache/apt-build" and applied the following patch to get rid of this problem: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- diff -Naur apt-build-0.12.38.orig/apt-build apt-build-0.12.38/apt-build --- apt-build-0.12.38.orig/apt-build 2008-07-01 08:29:43.000000000 +0200 +++ apt-build-0.12.38/apt-build 2011-08-30 23:55:39.000000000 +0200 @@ -101,9 +101,9 @@ update-source - Update all sources and rebuild them remove - Remove packages build-repository - Rebuild the repository - clean-sources - Clean up all object files in source directories clean-build - Erase downloaded packages and temporary build files - clean-repository - Erase downloaded packages and temporary build files + clean-repository - Erase built packages + clean-sources - Clean up all object files in source directories world - Rebuild and reinstall all packages on your system info - Build-related package information @@ -337,10 +337,10 @@ chdir $conf->repository_dir; my $arch = $_config->get("APT::Architecture"); - system "ln -s . main" unless -e "main"; - system "ln -s . apt-build" unless -e "apt-build"; - system "ln -s . dists" unless -e "dists"; - system "ln -s . binary-$arch" unless -e "binary-$arch"; + system "mkdir dists" unless -e "dists"; + system "mkdir dists/apt-build" unless -e "dists/apt-build"; + system "mkdir dists/apt-build/main" unless -e "dists/apt-build/main"; + system "ln -s ../../.. dists/apt-build/main/binary-$arch" unless -e "dists/apt-build/main/binary-$arch"; make_release_file() unless -e "Release"; system "apt-ftparchive packages . | gzip -9 > Packages.gz"; diff -Naur apt-build-0.12.38.orig/debian/postinst apt-build-0.12.38/debian/postinst --- apt-build-0.12.38.orig/debian/postinst 2011-03-13 16:55:00.000000000 +0100 +++ apt-build-0.12.38/debian/postinst 2011-08-31 01:19:41.000000000 +0200 @@ -79,13 +79,8 @@ # Create repository_dir if [ ! -e "$repository_dir" ]; then - mkdir -p "$repository_dir" - cd "$repository_dir" - ln -s . stable - ln -s . dists - ln -s . apt-build - ln -s . main - ln -s . binary-`dpkg --print-architecture` + mkdir -p "$repository_dir"/dists/apt-build/main + ln -s ../../..
