Package: gummiboot Version: 44-1 Severity: normal For me package building fails because dh_autoreconf does not take m4/ into account. But this is a strange failure case:
pkern@simplex ~/src/gummiboot-44 (git)-[master] % autoreconf -f -i configure.ac:57: error: AM_COND_IF: no such condition "ARCH_IA32" /usr/share/aclocal-1.14/cond-if.m4:23: AM_COND_IF is expanded from... configure.ac:57: the top level autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 aclocal: error: echo failed with exit status: 1 autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1 Okay... But it works from autogen.sh! 1 pkern@simplex ~/src/gummiboot-44 (git)-[master] % grep autoreconf autogen.sh autoreconf --force --install --symlink Okay... pkern@simplex ~/src/gummiboot-44 (git)-[master] % autoreconf --force --install configure.ac:35: installing 'build-aux/compile' configure.ac:34: installing 'build-aux/config.guess' configure.ac:34: installing 'build-aux/config.sub' configure.ac:31: installing 'build-aux/install-sh' configure.ac:31: installing 'build-aux/missing' Makefile.am: installing 'build-aux/depcomp' What!? "export ACLOCAL_PATH = m4" in debian/rules fixes the issue, but this is weird. Surely enough there's ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am, too, which specifies the m4 subdir. That's because the autoreconf wrapper we ship handles --install differently from -i and shells out to autoreconf2.50 if it finds the former. pkern@simplex ~/src/gummiboot-44 (git)-[master] % dpkg -S /usr/bin/autoreconf diversion by autoconf2.13 from: /usr/bin/autoreconf diversion by autoconf2.13 to: /usr/bin/autoreconf2.50 autoconf, autoconf2.13: /usr/bin/autoreconf Argh. And autoreconf2.50 works as expected. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.14-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gummiboot depends on: ii libblkid1 2.20.1-5.8 ii libc6 2.19-7 Versions of packages gummiboot recommends: ii systemd 204-14 gummiboot suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/default/gummiboot changed [not included] -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
