--- Begin Message ---Package: dpkg-repack Version: 1.46 Severity: normal Hi, the localepurge package can be used to automatically remove unneeded locale files (and thereby conserve disk space as well as inodes). dpkg-repack used to just print warnings for non-existent files, but currently it fails on such packages and only prints a vague warning, e.g.: dpkg-repack: warning: problems found processing kde-style-breeze, the package may be broken In fact, no actual .deb is generated at all; the dpkg build directory is missing DEBIAN/control. Please do one or more of the following: 1. turn this error into a warning again (in line 248, replace 'error("cannot find file '$fn'")' with 'warning("cannot find file '$fn'")'). 2. make sure the actual error message is printed, in addition to the vague warning; also, make it clear that no .deb was generated and that dpkg-repack exits unsuccessfully. 3. make this behaviour depend on a command line option; e.g. --ignore-missing-files, or --ignore-missing-locale, or --fail-on-missing-files or whatever. I would argue that if files are missing, the generated .deb should just not contain them. After all, dpkg-repack's description says "dpkg-repack creates a .deb file out of a package that has already been installed. If any changes have been made to the package while it was unpacked (i.e. files in /etc were modified), the new package will inherit the changes. This utility can make it easy to copy packages from one computer to another, or to recreate packages that are installed on your system, but no longer available elsewhere, or to store the current state of a package before you upgrade it." Removing files represents "changes made to the package" that dpkg-repack should preserve. Whether the .list file should include the missing files or not is an interesting question, but irrelevant for my use case (backup before upgrade); I think it would be better to include them if possible, because then if you install the generated .deb, it's still obvious that those files are missing from it.
