Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.14.6
Severity: normal
Hi,
Per policy 7.6, build-deps must be available for "clean"; pbuilder
calls dpkg-buildpackage -S to generate a source suitable to be copied
into the build environment; by default, this involves cleaning before
building the source, but dpkg-checkbuilddeps isn't run before cleaning.
I think dpkg-builcpackage should run dpkg-checkbuilddeps and fail at
this point when called with -S. Currently, clean might fail if
build-deps are unavailable (such as missing patch system package), but
this should really be an error detected earlier on.
pbuilder will probably want to override this behavior and output a
warning if dpkg-checkbuilddeps as run by pbuilder fails, but still try
to continue unless clean fails.
Bye,
