Policy's language simply doesn't agree with the buildd implementation it was originally intended to document. Transitioning to the use of "build-arch" on the buildds has issues that have been discussed extensively on the lists, because build-arch is currently not a required target. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

Hello Steve, thanks for your report. Maybe, you can help me with this bug or should I ask on d-mentors/d-devel? Steve Langasek schrieb am Fri 18.

So, it installs only the packages from Build-Depends, but later it calls debian/rules build The Debian policy says in section 7.6. The dependencies and conflicts they define must be satisfied (as defined earlier for binary packages) in order to invoke the targets in `debian/rules', as follows:[1] `Build-Depends-Indep', `Build-Conflicts-Indep' The `Build-Depends-Indep' and `Build-Conflicts-Indep' fields must be satisfied when any of the following targets is invoked: `build', `build-indep', `binary' and `binary-indep'. ^ So, why the build target is called even though the dependencies from Build-Depends-Indep aren't satisfied? I found this[1] posting from Andreas Metzler where he says: “And my personal opinion in this respect is that a FBTFS bug in a package caused by autobuilders no following policy strictly would be a serious bug. - Policy simply is wrong […]” That's the newest statement I found about build vs. Build-Depends-Indep.

Hi Jörg, On Fre, 18 Mai 2007, Steve Langasek wrote: > xindy is still failing to build with the same error as before. I guess this is the problem (targets reordered): # ok, necessary like this binary: binary-indep binary-arch # also ok binary-indep: build-indep binary-arch: build-arch # ok those 4 build-indep: build-indep-stamp build-indep-stamp: config.status-with-latex build-arch: build-arch-stamp build-arch-stamp: config.status # here seems to be the problem build: build-indep build-arch build is called in *any* case Since you don't want to have this, you should just include an empty build target, the calls to binary-indep and/or binary-arch will do the rest. If you have setup a pbuilder build env you can test it with --binary-arch cmd line option to dpkg-buildpackage (could have done it myself, sorry). I checked, with an empty build target it works. I will upload a NMU today to fix the build issue, you can later send me what you want.

No, buildds only build arch-any packages and therefor don't install B-D-Indep. Bastian -- Ahead warp factor one, Mr. Sulu.
