When these files are static libraries, this raises a UnicodeDecodeError. For example, from a recent numpy build on arm64[1]: W: dh_python3 fs:146: Paths differ: debian/python3-numpy/usr/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/numpy/random/lib/libnpyrandom.a and debian/python3-numpy/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/numpy/random/lib/libnpyrandom.a Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/dh_python3", line 284, in <module> main() File "/usr/bin/dh_python3", line 210, in main fix_locations(package, interpreter, SUPPORTED, options) File "/usr/share/dh-python/dhpython/fs.py", line 53, in fix_locations share_files(srcdir, dstdir, interpreter, options) File "/usr/share/dh-python/dhpython/fs.py", line 127, in share_files share_files(fpath1, fpath2, interpreter, options) File "/usr/share/dh-python/dhpython/fs.py", line 127, in share_files share_files(fpath1, fpath2, interpreter, options) File "/usr/share/dh-python/dhpython/fs.py", line 127, in share_files share_files(fpath1, fpath2, interpreter, options) File "/usr/share/dh-python/dhpython/fs.py", line 149, in share_files fromlines = fp1.readlines() File "/usr/lib/python3.10/codecs.py", line 322, in decode (result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final) UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xf6 in position 75: invalid start byte make[1]: *** [debian/rules:46: override_dh_python3] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>' make: *** [debian/rules:15: binary-arch] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch subprocess returned exit status 2 There is already logic to skip this diff for .so files, so the same should be done for .a files.
