Package: src:haskell-ghc-events Version: 0.4.3.0-2 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: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [...] debian/rules build-indep cp GHC/RTS/EventLogFormat.h dist-ghc/build/EventLogFormat.h cp: cannot create regular file 'dist-ghc/build/EventLogFormat.h': No such file or directory debian/rules:11: recipe for target 'dist-ghc/build/EventLogFormat.h' failed make: *** [dist-ghc/build/EventLogFormat.h] Error 1 dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build-indep gave error exit status 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry not to have a fix, as I am reporting many bugs similar to this one. The common hints are: * If the only architecture-independent packages are dummy transitional ones and they were released with jessie, the easy fix is to drop them now. * When using "dh", it is allowed to use (independently) optional targets override_dh_foo-arch and override_dh_foo-indep (for several values of "foo"). Once that both "dpkg-buildpackage -A" and "dpkg-buildpackage -B" work properly, the package would be suitable to be uploaded in source-only form if you wish. Thanks.
