Package: dh-autoreconf
Version: 6
Severity: important

Hi,

from the rules file:
%:
        dh $@ --with autoreconf --builddirectory Work

..

override_dh_clean:
        dh_clean -X.orig

when I build a source package I see:
dpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file m4/libtool.m4
dpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file build-aux/depcomp
...
dpkg-source: info: local changes detected, the modified files are:
 texlive-bin-2011.20120226/configure
 texlive-bin-2011.20120226/libs/gd/configure
 texlive-bin-2011.20120226/texk/afm2pl/configure
 texlive-bin-2011.20120226/texk/bibtex8/configure
 ...

which is related to dh_autoreconf.

>From the man page of dh_autoreconf:
/-----------
| dh_autoreconf is responsible for calling autoreconf and creating the
| files debian/autoreconf.before and debian/autoreconf.after which contain
| checksums of all files before/after the build. It is complemented by
| dh_autoreconf_clean which creates a list of all changed and added files
| and removes them.
\-----------

and from dh_autoreconf_clean:
/-----------
| dh_autoreconf_clean removes all files which have been created or changed
| during the autoreconf call executed by dh_autoreconf(1). It also reverts
| any ltmain.sh patch applied by dh_autoreconf.
\-----------


So I suppose that dh_autoreconf* should fix the above errors, but it didn't.

I suppose there is something I have overlooked completely.

Thanks a lot and all the best

Norbert

I tried to reproduce it without success. Might be a different
reason. Anyway, I close this bug, sorry for the noise!

Best wishes
