Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.45
Severity: important
The dpkg team is heavily refactoring dpkg-source and while using the new
version on my system, I discovered that it broke lintian because the output
messages got changed (and also -q will quiet all messages, not only warnings).
The problem is the following:
internal error: dpkg-source didn't report unpack directory
internal error: could not unpack package to desired level: No such file or
directory
The bug is in /usr/share/lintian/unpack/unpack-srcpkg-l2:
| my $IN = FileHandle->new;
| pipeline_open($IN, sub {
| my $ret=exec 'dpkg-source', '-q', '-x', 'dsc';
| $ret;
| }) or fail("cannot run dpkg-source: $!");
|
| while (<$IN>) {
| chop;
| $unpack_dir = $1
| if (/^dpkg-source: extracting [^\s]+ in (\S+)/);
| }
| close($IN) or fail("error occured during execution of dpkg-source in
$base_dir: $!");
| $unpack_dir or fail("dpkg-source didn't report unpack directory");
I really suggest you to add a supplementary parameter to the dpkg-source
invocation to explicitely specify the directory name where you want to
unpack it.
dpkg-source -q -x dsc unpacked
Note however that dpkg-source will exit if 'unpacked' exists. Thus you should
probably remove it before calling dpkg-source (if it exists that is).
Hopefully you can fix that in the next upload so that once the new dpkg-source
hits unstable people already have a fixed lintian. :)
Cheers,
