Package: cdbs Version: 0.4.96 Severity: normal Hello,
I attached a very simple example package in order to make this bug easier to talk about. The source package name is foo and it provides two packages: foo and python-foo. Package foo has only one binary, also called foo. It is installed to /usr/bin/foo using foo.install file. Package python-foo has a python package called foolizer and a module foo inside it. It can be installed using distutils. At first I set up my debian/rules like this: #!/usr/bin/make -f include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk DEB_PYTHON_MODULE_PACKAGES = python-foo include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/python-distutils.mk it did not work (actually, at first I tried without DEB_PYTHON_MODULE_PACKAGES, but it didn't work either). After some debugging, I found out that this would work: #!/usr/bin/make -f include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk DEB_PYTHON_MODULE_PACKAGES = python-foo DEB_PYTHON_DESTDIR = $(CURDIR)/debian/python-foo include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/python-distutils.mk If I don't set DEB_PYTHON_DESTDIR, then the destination directory for python modules becomes debian/tmp. That never gets added into python-foo package. By setting that variable, it is properly installed in debian/python-foo and it gets included in python-foo package. It seems odd to me, because if I remove package foo from debian/control, then all works even without setting DEB_PYTHON_DESTDIR or DEB_PYTHON_MODULE_PACKAGES (actually, DEB_PYTHON_MODULE_PACKAGES never seems to be necessary). Perhaps that's even the proper way. But why does it need to be that way? Can't it be deduced from DEB_PYTHON_MODULE_PACKAGES? The same thing happens on cdbs from squeeze (setting DEB_PYTHON_SYSTEM properly, of course), but I don't know how taget both versions of the package. So I'm reporting this on sid, which has the latest version.
