Package: debhelper Version: 9.20120909 Severity: important Affects: dh-exec
Dear Joey, the zsh source package builds its binary packages in (at least) two runs, one run for the normal packages and one run for the static package. I plan to make the zsh-static package using an executable debian/zsh-static.install and dh-exec to rename zsh to zsh5-static on the dh_install run: $ cat debian/zsh-static.install #!/usr/bin/dh-exec obj-static/Src/zsh => bin/zsh5-static $ ls -l debian/zsh-static.install -rwxr-xr-x 1 abe abe 57 Jan 13 15:47 debian/zsh-static.install* $ Nevertheless dh_install seems to execute debian/zsh-static.install already when I'm only building the binary packages zsh, zsh-common and zsh-dbg: [...] dh_install -pzsh -pzsh-common -pzsh-dbg Copy failed: No such file or directory at /usr/share/dh-exec/dh-exec-install-rename line 29, <> line 1. dh_install: problem reading debian/zsh-static.install: make: *** [binary-arch-dynamic] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2 While this is possibly ok for non-executable install files, it's not ok for executable ones as debhelper doesn't know about the script's dependencies. So if any -p argument is present, please just call the executable install files for those packages which are listed with -p and not for any other to-be-built package. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (902, 'testing-updates'), (901, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable'), (110, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages debhelper depends on: ii binutils 2.22-7.1 ii dpkg 1.16.9 ii dpkg-dev 1.16.9 ii file 5.11-2 ii html2text 1.3.2a-15 ii man-db 2.6.2-1 ii perl 5.14.2-16 ii po-debconf 1.0.16+nmu2 debhelper recommends no packages.
