Hi, I had been trying to backport ruby-nokogiri, as it is one of the many dependencies of gitlab-12.2.8, and hence needs backporting in order to backport gitlab. However, it fails with the error:
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ dh_ruby --install finished │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ dh_installdocs -O--buildsystem=ruby dh_ruby_fixdocs -O--buildsystem=ruby debian/rules override_dh_installchangelogs make[1]: Entering directory '/home/nilesh/packages/noki/ruby-nokogiri' dh_installchangelogs CHANGELOG.md make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/nilesh/packages/noki/ruby-nokogiri' debian/rules override_dh_installman make[1]: Entering directory '/home/nilesh/packages/noki/ruby-nokogiri' mkdir man pod2man --center "" --release "" --name NOKOGIRI --utf8 debian/nokogiri.1.pod man/nokogiri.1 dh_installman make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/nilesh/packages/noki/ruby-nokogiri' dh_installinit -O--buildsystem=ruby dh_installsystemduser -O--buildsystem=ruby dh_perl -O--buildsystem=ruby dh_link -O--buildsystem=ruby dh_strip_nondeterminism -O--buildsystem=ruby dh_compress -X.rb -O--buildsystem=ruby dh_fixperms -O--buildsystem=ruby dh_missing -O--buildsystem=ruby dh_dwz -O--buildsystem=ruby dwz: debian/ruby-nokogiri/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ruby/vendor_ruby/2.5.0/nokogiri/nokogiri.so: Found compressed .debug_aranges section, not attempting dwz compression dh_dwz: dwz -q -- debian/ruby-nokogiri/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ruby/vendor_ruby/2.5.0/nokogiri/nokogiri.so returned exit code 1 make: *** [debian/rules:9: binary] Error 1 dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary subprocess returned exit status 2 (pushed my changes to: https://salsa.debian.org/gi-boi-guest/ruby-nokogiri/) It is due to debhelper version 12, and changing it to 11 its solves the issue. So, should the compat level be changed to 11, and be uploaded(but that will be too much work for backporting all arch dependent packages) or should ruby be backported in order to resolve the issue? It would be great if it could be clarified. Thanks and Regards Nilesh
