Bug#376049: graphviz: FTBFS on arm: mv: cannot overwrite directory [...]

[Florent Bayle]

package graphviz
severity 376049 minor
thanks

Hi,

I took time to investigate, and I found that mv's behavior changed recently 
(see #376743), and I think that this FTBFS is due to the fact that there was 
and old version of coreutils installed on the buildd. This bug shouldn't 
appear if the package is built on an up-to-date sid chroot, and it's why I 
lower the severity of this bug, but I think that you should apply this patch 
to  make it possible to build the package with an old version of coreutils.


Regards.

Bug#376049: graphviz: FTBFS on arm: mv: cannot overwrite directory [...]

[Florent Bayle]

Package: graphviz
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: no longer builds from source

Hi,

If you look at buildds logs for arm, you will see that graphviz
FTBFS with the folloving message :
mv: cannot overwrite directory 
`/build/buildd/graphviz-2.8/debian/graphviz/usr/share/doc/graphviz/examples/pathplan_data'

I think that this happen because the directory was created by
dh_installdirs, but I don't know why it builds on some architectures,
and not on some others.

There is two possible patches :
 - remove the line creating the path from graphviz.dirs
 - use the patch I sent to #373254.



Regards.
