--- Begin Message ---Package: debhelper Version: 10.2.5 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, automake/libtools are known to break parallel installs (`make -j2 install`) in some situtations. the problem was triggered when building the gsequencer package on my local machine, which has routinely set `DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=2`; (and probably a recent switch to compat=10) example ======= an example project consists of both public (lib_LTLIBRARIES=libfoo.la) and private (e.g. pkglib_LTLIBRARIES=libbar.la) shared libraries that interdepend (e.g. libbar_la_LIBADD=libfoo.la). All libraries are built from a single Makefile.am (no subdirectories or the like). On 'make install', libtool will run a "relink" for each library. Since the public and private libraries are in a different namespace, their installation can be parallelized by make (if requested; e.g. because dh's `--parallel` flag is used), which can result in libbar.la being installed/relinked before libfoo.la, which in turn will result in an error (since libfoo.so cannot be found). This is a bug in autotools/automake/libtool, which has been known for some time ([1], [2]) and is unlikely to get fixed. proposal ======== It would be great if debhelper would automatically force a '--no-parallel' for the 'make install' target of automake/libtool based projects. in the meantime, this works as a local workaround (but must be implemented for each package) override_dh_auto_install: dh_auto_install --no-parallel what else? ========== thanks for this great piece of software :-) references ========== [1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2005-08/msg00021.html [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1260190 -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages debhelper depends on: ii autotools-dev 20161112.1 ii binutils 2.28-4 ii dh-autoreconf 14 ii dh-strip-nondeterminism 0.032-1 ii dpkg 1.18.23 ii dpkg-dev 1.18.23 ii file 1:5.29-3 ii libdpkg-perl 1.18.23 ii man-db 2.7.6.1-2 ii perl 5.24.1-2 ii po-debconf 1.0.20 debhelper recommends no packages.

[ Helmut Grohne ] * Supply PKG_CONFIG for cross compilation with the makefile buildsystem. (Closes: #853881) * Disable stripping during dh_auto_* in makefile buildsystem in compat 11. (Closes: #844077) * Remove explicit "Multi-Arch: no" stanzas as they are auto-rejected. (Closes: #857028) . [ Niels Thykier ] * Dh_Lib.pm: Make getpackages() produce the correct result independently of the order of the fields in a given paragraph of debian/control. (Closes: #847138) * dh_installman: Report installed manpages so the new dh_missing tool is informed about them. * dh_install: Deprecate --list-missing/--fail-missing in favor of the new dh_missing tool. The options will be removed in compat 11. * dh: Run dh_missing by default (in no op mode). * dh_prep: Clean up generated files so they work like other temporary debhelper files. * dh_installinit: Clarify that it might make sense to skip dh_installinit for a package if it provides a systemd service but no sysvinit file. (Closes: #800043) * dh_installinit: Deprecate --no-restart-on-upgrade in favor of the new name --no-stop-on-upgrade, which does the same thing but is less likely to be confused with --no-restart-after-upgrade and is more descriptive of what it actually does. Thanks to Simon McVittie and Michael Biebl for the help. (Closes: #837528) * debian/rules: Only apply the --no-parallel to dh_auto_test. The rest of debhelper's build appears to work fine with --parallel. * dh_systemd_enable.1: Clarify that --no-enable does not control whether a service is started and that dh_systemd_start is the tool that does that. (Closes: #770281) * autoconf.pm: Set --runstatedir to "/run" in compat 11. Thanks to Michael Biebl for the suggestion. * dh_fixperms: Refactor to reduce the constant overhead a bit and extract some patterns into data list. The latter hopefully reducing the need for tweaking dh_fixperms' logic. * dh_installdocs: Document that --link-doc has limitations on source and target package plus that compat 10 will reject unsupported combinations. * dh_gencontrol: Avoid adding Homepage fields to dbgsym packages. Avoids non-overridable warnings from lintian when there is an issue in the homepage field of the original binary. (Closes: #812248) * dh_strip: Fix a check that could cause dh_strip to generate dbgsym packages when it should not. * dh: Stop loading python-support in all compat levels as dh_pysupport has been removed in stretch. * python_support.pm: Remove the content with a deprecation warning as the module can no longer do anything. * dh_installman.1: Improve the manpage to clarify the scope of dh_installman and provide an examples. (Closes: LP: #184156) * makefile.pm: Disable parallel installation if libtool is present to avoid a race-condition in automake when using libtool. (Closes: #861627) . [ Steven Chamberlain ] * When cross-compiling for GNU/kFreeBSD host systems, set CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME to the correct value "kFreeBSD", not "FreeBSD". (Closes: #856688) . [ Felipe Sateler ] * dh_systemd_enable.1: Improve the wording of the documentation for the --no-enable option. (Closes: #844602) . [ Michael Biebl ] * Add support for meson + ninja build systems. (Closes: #795253) . [ Michael Stapelberg ] * dh_missing: New tool to handle --list-missing/--fail-missing. (Closes: #415396, #616070) * Dh_Lib.pm: Introduce a log_installed_files sub that can be used to inform dh_missing that a given file has been installed. . [ Johannes Schauer ] * dh_link.1: Improve the documentation and use ln(1) as a reference to make it simpler for people, who are used to the terms from ln.
