Source: software-center
Version: 1.1.21debian2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
In my setup here, I have a script that goes through the whole Debian archive
rebuilding all source packages to test for FTBFS bugs. It uses a pbuilder
hook script which adds a dummy entry to the beginning of debian/changelog with
version like "1.1.21debian2+pb1", so that the resulting packages can be used
in a local apt repository without apt getting those packages confused with the
official binary packages. But in the case of software-center, this causes an
FTBFS:
...
fakeroot debian/rules clean
dh --with=python-central clean
dh_testdir
dh_auto_clean
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 15, in <module>
VERSION = m.group(1)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'
dh_auto_clean: python setup.py clean -a returned exit code 1
make: *** [clean] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules clean gave error exit status 2
The attached patch fixes this. Filing as wishlist since software-center only
builds "Architecture: all" packages, so there's little danger of an actual
binNMU.
