Version: 2025.20250727.75242+ds-4
Severity: important
Tags: ftbfs patch
Hello,
texlive-bin currently FTBFS on hurd-any because it patches
texk/detex/detex-src/detex.l but apparently the automake rules don't
manage to recreate the Work/tekx/detex/detex-src directory properly:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=texlive-bin&arch=hurd-amd64&ver=2025.20250727.75242%2Bds-4&stamp=1755303272&raw=0
test -f detex-src/detex.c || /bin/bash
../../../texk/detex/../../build-aux/ylwrap
../../../texk/detex/detex-src/detex.l lex.yy.c detex-src/detex.c -- flex
../../../texk/detex/../../build-aux/ylwrap: line 204: ../detex-src/detex.c: No
such file or directory
One can see in the Makefile:
detex-src/$(am__dirstamp):
@$(MKDIR_P) detex-src
@: >>detex-src/$(am__dirstamp)
detex-src/detex.$(OBJEXT): detex-src/$(am__dirstamp) \
detex-src/$(DEPDIR)/$(am__dirstamp)
That only puts a dependency on detex-src/$(am__dirstamp) for the object,
not for the source, so when the detex-src/detex.c source is getting
built, the detex-src directory is not there yet.
Actually, I wonder how it works by luck on linux-any, possibly due to
some timestamps behavior difference. When I try to reproduce the issue:
$ /tmp/texlive-bin-2025.20250727.75242+ds/texk/detex/configure
--disable-dependency-tracking
$ make detex-src/detex.c
test -f detex-src/detex.c || /bin/bash
/tmp/texlive-bin-2025.20250727.75242+ds/texk/detex/../../build-aux/ylwrap
/tmp/texlive-bin-2025.20250727.75242+ds/texk/detex/detex-src/detex.l lex.yy.c
detex-src/detex.c -- flex
/tmp/texlive-bin-2025.20250727.75242+ds/texk/detex/../../build-aux/ylwrap: line
204: ../detex-src/detex.c: No such file or directory
I am getting the issue as well.
When not using --disable-dependency-tracking (which is added by
debhelper by default), the issue goes away because the makefile notices
that it doesn't have the detex-src/$(DEPDIR)/detex.Po and thus creates
it first, and thus creates the detex-src/$(DEPDIR) directory.
This is apparently a known bug in automake:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2017-06/msg00005.html
and still not fixed, so I wouldn't expect a fix any time soon, so a
solution would be to force enabling the dependency tracking as the
attached patch does.
Samuel

.
[ Pino Toscano ]
* Import patch 0001-consider-Hurd-as-a-POSIX-system.patch from src:luajit as
luajit-hurd.diff to support Hurd in the embedded luajit copy.
* Use DEB_HOST_ARCH rather than DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU to use the embedded zziplib
copy on any i386 architecture, not only on Linux, as the problem applies
regardless of the OS (Closes: #1111536).
* Enable the luajit support also on hurd-amd64.
.
[ Samuel Thibault ]
* Patch detex/Makefile.am to fix build failure on single job builders
(Closes: #1111524).
.
[ Gianfranco Costamagna ]
* Patch mendexk-upmendex-fix-pnumconv to FTBFS on Big Endian Architectures
with security flags (Closes: #1119667).
.
* Implement override_dh_missing correctly.
* Lintian stuff.
* Use DEB_CFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND (instead of CFLAGS) to append flags to gcc
to /not/ kill hardening flags.
* Drop transitional packages libtexlua53-dev & libtexlua53.
* Bump Standards version, no changes needed.
