Public bug reported: I'm the author of apsw - https://code.google.com/p/apsw/ - and have a PPA for builds for various Ubuntu versions at https://launchpad.net /~ubuntu-rogerbinns/+archive/apsw/+packages
This has worked fine for a few years. However builds for Quantal are failing. You can see a failed build log at https://launchpadlibrarian.net/119421086/buildlog_ubuntu-quantal-amd64 .python-apsw_3.7.14.1-r1-1ppa1~quantal1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz - The way I do the ppa build is by running "make ppa" from a source tree. The cause is because _FORTIFY_SOURCE is being mishandled. Its definition and usage is not coming from my code. I can't tell if the problem is the server side environment having a bug or something involved in making packages for submission is adding it. Perhaps the Python stuff on 12.04 (where I do the ppa submissions) is putting in gunk that breaks 12.10? Attached is a .build file from the client machine. It contains the following line which is not my doing dpkg-buildpackage: export CPPFLAGS from dpkg-buildflags (origin: vendor): -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: python-dev 2.7.3-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-31.50-generic 3.2.28 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-31-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu13 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Oct 10 15:39:41 2012 SourcePackage: python-defaults UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: python-defaults (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug precise ** Attachment added: "python-apsw_3.7.14.1-r1-1ppa1~quantal1_source.build" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065302/+attachment/3393972/+files/python-apsw_3.7.14.1-r1-1ppa1%7Equantal1_source.build -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065302 Title: _FORTIFY_SOURCE being added for ppa builds To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-defaults/+bug/1065302/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
