Package: src:pyviennacl Version: 1.0.2+dfsg-1 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 python2,python3 --buildsystem=pybuild dh_testroot -i -O--buildsystem=pybuild dh_prep -i -O--buildsystem=pybuild debian/rules override_dh_auto_install-indep make[1]: Entering directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/pyviennacl-1.0.2+dfsg' PYTHONPATH=debian/python-pyviennacl/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages python doc/build-doc.py Running Sphinx v1.3.1 making output directory... Exception occurred: File "conf.py", line 81, in <module> from pyviennacl import __version__ as version ImportError: No module named pyviennacl The full traceback has been saved in /tmp/sphinx-err-c_X_Wx.log, if you want to report the issue to the developers. Please also report this if it was a user error, so that a better error message can be provided next time. A bug report can be filed in the tracker at <https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues>. Thanks! debian/rules:39: recipe for target 'override_dh_auto_install-indep' failed make[1]: *** [override_dh_auto_install-indep] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/pyviennacl-1.0.2+dfsg' debian/rules:18: recipe for target 'binary-indep' failed make: *** [binary-indep] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary-indep gave error exit status 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry not to have a fix, as I am reporting many bugs similar to this one, but I can give some general hints: * If all the arch-independent packages are dummy transitional packages released with jessie, the easy fix is to drop them now. * If not, debian/rules should be modified so that the binary-indep target works in all cases, even when binary-arch is not used (this is what the "Architecture: all" autobuilder does). 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).
