That looks weird indeed. The code in question would be Lab::Package::create_entry, but for a binary package at that time, it basically a mkdir + a symlink. My best bet is that it got the wrong info somehow. However I cannot really tell what it is, since it works for a lot of packages. It does not appear to be epoch or weird binary versions compared to the source package. java-common is a prime example at that and there are no issues there. I noticed some of the source packages fail due to missing keys[KEYS]. I digged out the names of the source packages for which at least one binary failed: missidentify, nexuiz-data, ninix-aya, nodejs, openblas, optgeo, ossim, oxygen-icons. It does not seem to be "source name" == "binary package" either, but according to grep the warning (could not create the package entry...) appears 1707 times, so it is definitely a re-occurring problem. I do not suppose we got a pre 2.5.1 log? lintian.log and lintian.log.old both appears to be the new one. ~Niels [KEYS] fastx-toolkit, libdbusmenu, media-player-info -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
