Package: yada
Version: 0.9.7
Severity: serious
Moi.
The build target in the yada-generated rules file depends on the
debian/tmp-gramofile/DEBIAN/control target (via install-tree/install-tree-any).
The last calls in .../control seem more appropriate to binary than to build,
however. dpkg-shlibdeps, for example, calls chown(2) internally and therefore
should be invoked as root. According to policy sect. 5.2, such privileged calls
are not allowed in the build target.
The current version usually works in a conventional development system
where debian/substvars.new is chown()ed to its previous owner, but
it fails in some of the more sophisticated autobuilder setups. See bugs
#92749, and #96798 for examples.
The appropriate fix, I think, is to split the .../control target and move
the upper half to its own target that is invoked from build, and remove
the dependency on .../control from the install-tree-any target.
Best regards,
Daniel.
