Package: src:libtexttools Version: 2.1.0-6 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 dh build-indep --with ada-library dh_testdir -i fakeroot debian/rules binary-indep dh binary-indep --with ada-library debian/rules build-indep make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>' dh build-indep --with ada-library dh_testdir -i make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>' dh_testroot -i dh_prep -i dh_installdocs -i dh_installchangelogs -i dh_installexamples -i dh_ada_library -i dh_ada_library: project file "texttools.gpr" not found in .::/usr/share/ada/adainclude/ debian/rules:34: recipe for target 'binary-indep' failed make: *** [binary-indep] Error 4 dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary-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.
