I propose a fix for the cause here:

Thank you!

Mine, 4.2.3, builds and passes all tests in sbuild:

It is work in progress, you asked for something for comparison.. so i provided something immediately..

https://salsa.debian.org/charles05/bear/-/tree/wip/4.x
Main difference: it keeps the exit_codes tests (run serially) instead

Cool!  didn't tried.

of disabling them. Also, does yours build on amd64? bear.install only
lists lib64 AFAICT.

there is difference in directory for lib  32 bit and 64 bit and its is controlled by INTERCEPT_LIBDIR so it creates appropriate target specific directory lib/lib64

look further for bear readme for details.

Can send these as MRs to your base once it is on debian/bear if you like?

It is moved to https://salsa.debian.org/debian/bear.

needs a sponsor either way.

Cheers,

AFAIU DM rights need a DD grant after an upload lists you, so the first upload

Thank you for the packaging push,  your work looks complete.

Few quick finding:




|3. override_dh_auto_build does not respect hardening if enabled.
|

|4. not sure if shell completion are enabled on not.|





Best,

1. Please check INTERCEPT_LIBDIR to ensure packaging respect lib/lib64 target specific. 2. Also i had problem with |rm -f Cargo.lock   under ||override_dh_auto_build, it failed sometimes using gdb.| I do a push so the upstream is update to latest  so you can add MR of your work and we can work on ward ?
