Package: src:mysqmail Version: 0.4.9-10.1 User: [email protected] Usertags: binary-indep Severity: important
Dear maintainer: I tried to build this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A" (i.e. only architecture-independent packages), and it failed: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [...] fakeroot debian/rules binary-indep dh_testdir dh_testroot dh_clean -k dh_clean: dh_clean -k is deprecated; use dh_prep instead install -D -m 0755 mysqmail-courier-logger debian/mysqmail-courier-logger/usr/sbin/mysqmail-courier-logger install -D -m 0755 mysqmail-postfix-logger debian/mysqmail-postfix-logger/usr/sbin/mysqmail-postfix-logger install -D -m 0755 mysqmail-pure-ftpd-logger debian/mysqmail-pure-ftpd-logger/usr/sbin/mysqmail-pure-ftpd-logger install -D -m 0755 mysqmail-dovecot-logger debian/mysqmail-dovecot-logger/usr/sbin/mysqmail-dovecot-logger dpkg-genchanges -A >../mysqmail_0.4.9-10.1_all.changes dpkg-genchanges: warning: unknown information field 'Dm-Upload-Allowed' in input data in general section of control info file dpkg-genchanges: error: binary build with no binary artifacts found; cannot distribute dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-genchanges gave error exit status 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This usually happens because there is a binary-indep target in debian/rules which is either empty or does not do anything useful. If all the arch-independent packages are dummy transitional packages released with jessie, the easy fix is to drop them now. If not, debian/rules should be modified so that the binary-indep target generates the architecture independent packages (and only those). After checking that both "dpkg-buildpackage -A" and "dpkg-buildpackage -B" work properly, this package will be suitable to be uploaded in source-only form if you wish (I recommend that you try it). Thanks.
