After some more search I found that the "original" gzipped tar archive that is referenced in your new version accountsservice_0.6.35-0ubuntu7.1.dsc differs a lot from the xz-compressed "original" tar used by the old trusty version: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/accountsservice_0.6.35.orig.tar.xz
This is exactly the difference seen in the diff mentioned above. In the attached accountsservice_0.6.35-0ubuntu7.1.dsc I have just replaced all references to the dubios accountsservice_0.6.35.orig.tar.gz by the corresponding lines for accountsservice_0.6.35.orig.tar.xz as found in https://launchpadlibrarian.net/162749972/accountsservice_0.6.35-0ubuntu7.dsc (and removed the pgp signature). With this change the packag compiles cleanly and works as expected. @Robert: please use the working original tar.xz from the old package and repost the patch. Thanks. ** Attachment added: "accountsservice_0.6.35-0ubuntu7.1.dsc with corrected accountsservice_0.6.35.orig.tar.xz" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1290785/+attachment/4149542/+files/accountsservice_0.6.35-0ubuntu7.1.dsc -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290785 Title: Users with UID > 60000 are invisible in login and Settings->User unless /etc/login.defs updated To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1290785/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
