Package: src:picon-usenix Version: 1995.04.13-8 User: sanv...@debian.org Usertags: arch-all-swapped-binary-targets Severity: serious
Dear maintainer: I tried to build this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A" (which is what the "Arch: all" autobuilder would do to build it) but it failed: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [...] fakeroot debian/rules binary-indep echo $PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games echo $PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games test -f debian/rules test root = "`whoami`" echo $PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games test -f debian/rules dpkg-genchanges --build=all >../picon-usenix_1995.04.13-8_all.changes dpkg-genchanges: error: binary build with no binary artifacts found; cannot distribute dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-genchanges gave error exit status 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Because this source package only generates "Arch: all" packages, this is usually a sign that the binary-arch and binary-indep targets of debian/rules are just swapped. Note: I'm reporting this as "serious" after getting the ok from the release managers. See Bug #830997 for details. Once that "dpkg-buildpackage -A" work properly, the package would be suitable to be uploaded in source-only form if you wish. [ Note: You will receive seven bugs like this one today. Sorry! On the other hand, they are all trivial to fix ]. Thanks.
