--- Begin Message ---Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.17.26 Severity: normal The dpkg-buildpackage manpage claims that the environment variable to pass a GPG key id to debsign is named DEB_SIGN_KEYID, but both the debsign manpage and the debsign code look for a variable named DEBSIGN_KEYID (ie, without that first "_"). The dpkg-buildpackage manpage should be updated with the correct environment variable name. (Note that the functioning of debsign's DEBSIGN_KEYID variable is broken due to Bug #816688.) -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages dpkg-dev depends on: ii base-files 8+deb8u3 ii binutils 2.25-5 ii bzip2 1.0.6-7+b3 ii libdpkg-perl 1.17.26 ii make 4.0-8.1 ii patch 2.7.5-1 ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2+b3 Versions of packages dpkg-dev recommends: ii build-essential 11.7 ii clang-3.5 [c-compiler] 1:3.5-10 ii fakeroot 1.20.2-1 ii gcc [c-compiler] 4:4.9.2-2 ii gcc-4.6 [c-compiler] 4.6.3-14 ii gcc-4.9 [c-compiler] 4.9.2-10 ii gnupg 1.4.18-7 ii gnupg2 2.0.26-6 ii gpgv 1.4.18-7 ii libalgorithm-merge-perl 0.08-2 Versions of packages dpkg-dev suggests: ii debian-keyring 2015.04.10 -- no debconf information -- Sebastian Kuzminsky

No, dpkg-buildpackage's manpage claims that the variable used by dpkg is DEB_SIGN_KEYID. It's correct. dpkg-buildpackage does not call debsign, nor does anything in its documentation claim that it does. dpkg-1.18.1/scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.pl:my $signkey = $ENV{DEB_SIGN_KEYID}; It's perhaps unfortunate that the naming is so close to the variable used by debsign, but they are different variables used in different ways by different scripts. > The dpkg-buildpackage manpage should be updated with the correct > environment variable name. > > (Note that the functioning of debsign's DEBSIGN_KEYID variable is broken > due to Bug #816688.) Again, no. As explained in that bug report, nothing is broken in debsign, you simply failed to read and/or understand the documentation. Regards, Adam
