Package: plank Version: 0.11.4-3 Followup-For: Bug #907109 Dear all,
I tried to track down why plank cannot be installed and it is due to a missing libplank-common, which happened due to the build error reported here. What is going on that the source only upload triggered a separate build of arch/indep packages which the rules files does not cater to. The rules file does override_dh_install: find debian/tmp -name *.la -delete find debian/tmp -name *.a -delete dh_install # this needs to be handled upstream, really... mkdir -p debian/plank/usr/share/metainfo/ mv debian/plank/usr/share/appdata/* debian/plank/usr/share/metainfo/ rmdir debian/plank/usr/share/appdata/ But in case of an arch-indep package build the second part does not work out. I tried to change it to override_dh_install-arch: ... dh_install -a but then it breaks in override_dh_missing: dh_missing --fail-missing because in the arch-indep build several binary files are installed (actually a full build is done). Someone with more experience of source-only builds and hacking dh and the build system of plank needs to look into this.
