Package: src:shibboleth-sp2 Version: 2.5.6+dfsg1-1 User: sanv...@debian.org 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 --parallel --with apache2,autoreconf dh_testdir -i -O--parallel dh_update_autotools_config -i -O--parallel debian/rules override_dh_autoreconf make[1]: Entering directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/shibboleth-sp2-2.5.6+dfsg1' dh_autoreconf --as-needed libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, 'build-aux'. libtoolize: copying file 'build-aux/ltmain.sh' libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS, 'm4'. libtoolize: copying file 'm4/libtool.m4' libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltoptions.m4' [... snipped ...] make[5]: Entering directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/shibboleth-sp2-2.5.6+dfsg1/odbc-store' for la in odbc-store.la ; do rm -f /<<BUILDDIR>>/shibboleth-sp2-2.5.6+dfsg1/debian/tmp/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/shibboleth/$la ; done make[5]: Leaving directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/shibboleth-sp2-2.5.6+dfsg1/odbc-store' make[4]: Leaving directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/shibboleth-sp2-2.5.6+dfsg1/odbc-store' make[3]: Leaving directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/shibboleth-sp2-2.5.6+dfsg1/odbc-store' make[3]: Entering directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/shibboleth-sp2-2.5.6+dfsg1' make[4]: Entering directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/shibboleth-sp2-2.5.6+dfsg1' make[4]: Nothing to be done for 'install-exec-am'. make[4]: Nothing to be done for 'install-data-am'. make[4]: Leaving directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/shibboleth-sp2-2.5.6+dfsg1' make[3]: Leaving directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/shibboleth-sp2-2.5.6+dfsg1' make[2]: Leaving directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/shibboleth-sp2-2.5.6+dfsg1' rm -r debian/tmp/var/run for i in CREDITS.txt LICENSE.txt NOTICE.txt README.txt RELEASE.txt \ FASTCGI.LICENSE OPENSSL.LICENSE LOG4CPP.LICENSE; do \ rm debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/shibboleth-*/$i; \ done rm debian/tmp/etc/shibboleth/*.dist rm debian/tmp/etc/shibboleth/*.config rm debian/tmp/etc/shibboleth/shibd-amazon rm debian/tmp/etc/shibboleth/shibd-osx.plist rm debian/tmp/etc/shibboleth/shibd-redhat rm debian/tmp/etc/shibboleth/shibd-suse mkdir -p debian/tmp/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/shibsp mv debian/tmp/usr/include/shibsp/paths.h \ debian/tmp/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/shibsp/ make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/shibboleth-sp2-2.5.6+dfsg1' debian/rules override_dh_install make[1]: Entering directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/shibboleth-sp2-2.5.6+dfsg1' dh_install --fail-missing dh_install: etc/shibboleth/shibd-systemd exists in debian/tmp but is not installed to anywhere dh_install: etc/shibboleth/metagen.sh exists in debian/tmp but is not installed to anywhere dh_install: etc/shibboleth/keygen.sh exists in debian/tmp but is not installed to anywhere dh_install: etc/shibboleth/shibd-debian exists in debian/tmp but is not installed to anywhere dh_install: missing files, aborting debian/rules:61: recipe for target 'override_dh_install' failed make[1]: *** [override_dh_install] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/shibboleth-sp2-2.5.6+dfsg1' debian/rules:28: recipe for target 'binary-indep' failed make: *** [binary-indep] Error 2 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.
