Bug#665708: gdm3: FTBFS (`+' is an invalid character in a configuration, storage address)
gdm3 FTBFS (when rebuilt against a newer CDBS to pick up hardening flags); from the amd64 build log: To clarify the actual issue is that gdm3 FTBFS when there is a + in the name of the build directory because the build process tries to set a gconf config dir under the build directory and gconf doesn't like directory names containing +. Current sbuild includes the complete version number including debian revision in the build directory name (apt-get source, pbuilder and older versions of sbuild use only the upstream version) so if there is a + in the debian revision sbuild can't build the package (it can still be built manually though). So the question is how to deal with this, I see a few options 1: Simply avoid using + in debian revisions for gdm3 (which means avoiding binnmus) 2: Make gconf accept + in the names configuration storage directories (I have no idea how hard this would be) 3: Make the build store the temporary configuration stuff somewhere other than the build tree (e.g. /tmp) 4: Change sbuild to only use the upstream version in the directory name (like it did in the past) 5: Change sbuild to strip plus signs from the version number when making the directory name ccing sbuild maintainers for their comments on this. P.S. i'm just taking a look at a rc bug, I do not have any relationship to the package other than as a user. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
