Package: src:singular Version: 4.0.2-p2+ds-3 User: sanv...@debian.org Usertags: binary-indep Severity: important
Dear maintainer: I tried to build this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A" (i.e. only architecture-independent packages), and it failed: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [...] fakeroot debian/rules binary-indep dh binary-indep --with autoreconf --parallel dh_testroot -i -O--parallel dh_prep -i -O--parallel debian/rules override_dh_auto_install-indep make[1]: Entering directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/singular-4.0.2-p2+ds' make -C dox install-html TOPSRCDIR=/<<BUILDDIR>>/singular-4.0.2-p2+ds DESTDIR=/<<BUILDDIR>>/singular-4.0.2-p2+ds/debian/tmp make[2]: Entering directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/singular-4.0.2-p2+ds/dox' /bin/mkdir -p /<<BUILDDIR>>/singular-4.0.2-p2+ds/debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/singular/html cp -rp -t /<<BUILDDIR>>/singular-4.0.2-p2+ds/debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/singular/html html/search cp -p -t /<<BUILDDIR>>/singular-4.0.2-p2+ds/debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/singular/html html/*.html html/*.png cp -p -t /<<BUILDDIR>>/singular-4.0.2-p2+ds/debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/singular/html html/doxygen.css html/stylesheet.css html/tabs.css cp -p -t /<<BUILDDIR>>/singular-4.0.2-p2+ds/debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/singular/html html/dynsections.js html/svgpan.js rdfind -outputname /dev/null -removeidentinode false -makesymlinks true /<<BUILDDIR>>/singular-4.0.2-p2+ds/debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/singular/html Now scanning "/<<BUILDDIR>>/singular-4.0.2-p2+ds/debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/singular/html", found 2756 files.

For that: * If you are using debhelper, you might want to use options -a and -i for dh_* commands so that they do not act on packages they do not have to act. * Also, if you are using dh, the (independently) optional targets override_dh_foo-arch and override_dh_foo-indep (for several values of "foo") may be useful to write a debian/rules which behaves exactly as desired. After checking that both "dpkg-buildpackage -A" and "dpkg-buildpackage -B" work properly, this package will be suitable to be uploaded in source-only form if you wish (you might want to try it).
