Package: uapevent
Version: 1.4-1
Hi,
We're discovered an issue with uapevent while building it for Ubuntu
precise: it attempts to copy (install) compiled files to an
unreachable or restricted path:
make[1]: Entering directory `/build/buildd/uapevent-1.4'
cc -Wall -c -o uapevent.o uapevent.c
cc -lrt -o uapevent uapevent.o
cp: cannot create regular file `../../uapevent': Permission denied
make[1]: *** [build] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/build/buildd/uapevent-1.4'
dh_auto_build: make -j1 returned exit code 2
make: *** [build] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2
On our buildds, this would essentially mean /, but on my system
(outside a chroot, but building in a separate directory than the
original source) it also means it tries to clobber the actual source
directory used, and fortunately fails to do so ;)
I was able to workaround the issue by adding a simple override to
dh_auto_build that would set INSTALLDIR to an absolute directory, thus
avoiding it being rewritten with "../..":
override_dh_auto_build:
INSTALLDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp dh_auto_build
Kind regards,
