Package: dh-kpatches Version: 0.100.1 Severity: grave Tags: experimental Justification: renders package unusable
I built a kernel-patch package for the hard disk queue freezing patch that is used with the IBM ThinkPad HDAPS support code. It was built with dh-kpatches 0.100.1, and I was told by a user that this package does not work. The following errors are made in the apply perl script: a) line 63 if (defined $DEBPATCHFILES[$IDX] ... is the wrong test since an empty string is defined in perl. It should be if( not ($DEBPATCHFILES[$IDX] eq "") .... b) line 153 printf 'Disk queue freezing support (queuefreeze)" has inconsistent quotation marks -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages dh-kpatches depends on: ii debhelper 5.0.25 helper programs for debian/rules ii perl 5.8.8-3 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction dh-kpatches recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
