Package: heroes Version: 0.21-6 Severity: serious Hi,
building the package heroes in a clean sid build environment (with pbuilder) on i386 results in: ========================================================================= [...] make[1]: *** No rule to make target `distclean'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/buildd/heroes-0.21' make: [clean] Error 2 (ignored) # These files are changed by the build process but included # in the upstream source. Remove them so they don't confuse diff. rm -f po/*.gmo # These are generated but not removed by "make distclean": rm -f man/heroes.6 man/heroeslvl.6 dh_clean dpkg-source -b heroes-0.21 dpkg-source: warning: no utmp entry available and LOGNAME not defined; using uid of process (65534) dpkg-parsechangelog: warning: no utmp entry available and LOGNAME not defined; using uid of process (65534) debian: warning: no utmp entry available and LOGNAME not defined; using uid of process (65534) dpkg-architecture: warning: no utmp entry available and LOGNAME not defined; using uid of process (65534) dpkg-source: building heroes using existing heroes_0.21.orig.tar.gz dpkg-source: building heroes in heroes_0.21-6.diff.gz dpkg-source: cannot represent change to doc/heroes.info: binary file contents changed dpkg-source: warning: file debian/heroes-ggi.prerm has no final newline (either original or modified version) dpkg-source: warning: file debian/heroes-sdl.postinst has no final newline (either original or modified version) dpkg-source: warning: file debian/heroes-sdl.prerm has no final newline (either original or modified version) dpkg-source: warning: file debian/heroes-ggi.postinst has no final newline (either original or modified version) dpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file po/pt_BR.gmo dpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file po/de.gmo dpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file po/fr.gmo dpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file po/it.gmo dpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file po/nl.gmo dpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file man/heroes.6 dpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file man/heroeslvl.6 dpkg-source: building heroes in heroes_0.21-6.dsc dpkg-source: unrepresentable changes to source ========================================================================= As documented above, the *.gmo files are removed because they were changed by the build process. Unfortunately, this leads to the problem now reported by dpkg-source. A possible fix is having a backup of the orig.tar.gz shipped gmo files and copying them back in "clean". Yes, an ugly fix, but for a broken design (gettext generated gmo files) anyway. Repackaging the orig.tar.gz doesn't seem to be reasonable here.
