Public bug reported:
When trying to build linux-image-2.6.31-16-generic_2.6.31-16.53_i386.deb, and
setting LOCALVERSION in debian.master/config/config.common.ubuntu, causes the
build to fail at:
#
# Remove files which are generated at installation by postinst, except for
# modules.order.
#
mv
/usr/src/linux-2.6.31/debian/linux-image-2.6.31-16-generic/lib/modules/2.6.31-16-generic/modules.order
\
/usr/src/linux-2.6.31/debian/linux-image-2.6.31-16-generic/lib/modules/2.6.31-16-generic/_modules.order
This is because the modules.order file is missing. The directory where
it should be only contains a single child directory "initrd".
I built once successfully from a clean extract (with the Ubuntu patch
set). Then I changed the LOCALVERSION to "debug" and tried to build. It
failed, tried again with a rebuild-config+clean+build. Failed again.
Then I extracted and patched again, and tried to build without
rebuilding-config (simply making the change). It failed again.
After I extracted once more and left the LOCALVERSION alone, it
succeeded again. So it seems to be clear that changing the LOCALVERSION
causes the build to fail.
I build with the following:
