Howdy all,
I'm having a conflict between 'dh_pycentral' and 'dh_pysupport' that I
can't see how to resolve.
Case study: 'python-minimock'
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/python-minimock/python-minimock_0.8-4.dsc>
Currently (in 0.8-4) the 'debian/rules' has the following targets of
interest:
=
.PHONY: install
install: build
dh --with python_central install --before pysupport
dh --with python_central install --after pysupport
.PHONY: binary-indep
binary-indep: build install
dh --with python_central binary-indep --before pysupport
dh --with python_central binary-indep --after pysupport
=
This builds, but *only* with both of 'python-central' and
'python-support' installed. However, the package shouldn't need
'python-central' at all; it wants to avoid it altogether.
When I test the package with 'pdebuild' in a 'sid' pbuilder, it fails:
=
$ pdebuild ../build-area/python-minimock_0.8-4.dsc
[…]
fakeroot debian/rules binary
dh build
dh --with python_central install --before pysupport
dh: command specification "pysupport" does not match any command in the sequence
make: *** [install] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status
2
pbuilder: Failed autobuilding of package
-> Aborting with an error
-> unmounting dev/pts filesystem
-> unmounting proc filesystem
-> cleaning the build env
-> removing directory /var/cache/pbuilder/build//7246 and its subdirectories
=
This is presumably because 'python-support' is not installed, as is
correct for the package dependencies.
Ideally, I'd only need those rules to say:
=
.PHONY: install
install: build
dh --with python_central install
.PHONY: binary-indep
binary-indep: build install
dh --with python_central binary-indep
=
This does, in fact, cause the 'pdebuild' to succeed.
However, if 'python-support' *is* installed, then this causes *both*
of 'dh_pysupport' and 'dh_pycentral' to run, and the resulting package
fails 'lintian':
=
$ bzr-buildpackage
[…]
dh --with python_central install
[…]
running install_scripts
[…]
dh_pysupport --with python_central
Compatibility mode: using detected XS-Python-Version.
dh_pycentral --with python_central
[…]
$ lintian -I ../build-area/python-minimock_0.8-4_powerpc.changes
E: python-minimock: malformed-python-version 2.4, 2.5, all
=
Why is 'dh --with python_central install' running 'dh_pysupport' at
all? How can I stop that and only use 'dh_pycentral' as requested,
without breaking the package build in the absence of 'python-support'?
