Package: src:hscolour Version: 1.23-3 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 test -x debian/rules mkdir -p "." /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/buildcore.mk:110: CDBS WARNING: DEB_COMPRESS_EXCLUDE is deprecated since 0.4.85 . /usr/share/haskell-devscripts/Dh_Haskell.sh && \ make_setup_recipe Running ghc --make Setup.hs -o debian/hlibrary.setup [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( Setup.hs, Setup.o ) Linking debian/hlibrary.setup ... cp debian/hscolour-wrapper hscolour-wrapper chmod u+x hscolour-wrapper . /usr/share/haskell-devscripts/Dh_Haskell.sh && \ [... snipped ...] Using haddock version 2.16.1 found on system at: /usr/bin/haddock No happy found Using haskell-suite found on system at: haskell-suite-dummy-location Using haskell-suite-pkg found on system at: haskell-suite-pkg-dummy-location No hmake found Using hpc version 0.67 found on system at: /usr/bin/hpc Using hsc2hs version 0.67 found on system at: /usr/bin/hsc2hs Using hscolour version 1.9 given by user at: /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/hscolour-wrapper No jhc found Using ld found on system at: /usr/bin/ld No lhc found No lhc-pkg found No pkg-config found Using strip version 2.25 found on system at: /usr/bin/strip Using tar found on system at: /bin/tar No uhc found touch configure-ghc-stamp . /usr/share/haskell-devscripts/Dh_Haskell.sh &&\ haddock_recipe Running debian/hlibrary.setup haddock --builddir=dist-ghc --with-haddock=/usr/bin/haddock --with-ghc=ghc --verbose=2 --html --hoogle --hyperlink-source /usr/bin/haddock --version /usr/bin/ghc --numeric-version Running Haddock for hscolour-1.23... /usr/bin/haddock --ghc-version creating dist-ghc/build creating dist-ghc/build/autogen Running hscolour for hscolour-1.23... creating dist-ghc/doc/html/hscolour creating dist-ghc/doc/html creating dist-ghc/doc creating dist-ghc/doc/html creating dist-ghc/doc/html/hscolour Preprocessing library hscolour-1.23... creating dist-ghc/doc/html/hscolour/src /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/hscolour-wrapper -print-css -odist-ghc/doc/html/hscolour/src/hscolour.css hscolour-wrapper : -print-css -odist-ghc/doc/html/hscolour/src/hscolour.css Haddock failed (no modules?), refusing to create empty documentation package. /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/hlibrary.mk:173: recipe for target 'build-haddock-stamp' failed make: *** [build-haddock-stamp] 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.
