Howdy all, I'm having a conflict between 'dh_pycentral' and 'dh_pysupport' that I can't see how to resolve.
Case study: 'python-minimock' <URL:http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/python-minimock/python-minimock_0.8-4.dsc> Currently (in 0.8-4) the 'debian/rules' has the following targets of interest: ===== .PHONY: install install: build dh --with python_central install --before pysupport dh --with python_central install --after pysupport .PHONY: binary-indep binary-indep: build install dh --with python_central binary-indep --before pysupport dh --with python_central binary-indep --after pysupport ===== This builds, but *only* with both of 'python-central' and 'python-support' installed. However, the package shouldn't need 'python-central' at all; it wants to avoid it altogether. When I test the package with 'pdebuild' in a 'sid' pbuilder, it fails: ===== $ pdebuild ../build-area/python-minimock_0.8-4.dsc […] fakeroot debian/rules binary dh build dh --with python_central install --before pysupport dh: command specification "pysupport" does not match any command in the sequence make: *** [install] Error 1 dpkg-buildpackage: failure: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2 pbuilder: Failed autobuilding of package -> Aborting with an error -> unmounting dev/pts filesystem -> unmounting proc filesystem -> cleaning the build env -> removing directory /var/cache/pbuilder/build//7246 and its subdirectories ===== This is presumably because 'python-support' is not installed, as is correct for the package dependencies. Ideally, I'd only need those rules to say: ===== .PHONY: install install: build dh --with python_central install .PHONY: binary-indep binary-indep: build install dh --with python_central binary-indep ===== This does, in fact, cause the 'pdebuild' to succeed. However, if 'python-support' *is* installed, then this causes *both* of 'dh_pysupport' and 'dh_pycentral' to run, and the resulting package fails 'lintian': ===== $ bzr-buildpackage […] dh --with python_central install […] running install_scripts […] dh_pysupport --with python_central Compatibility mode: using detected XS-Python-Version. dh_pycentral --with python_central […] $ lintian -I ../build-area/python-minimock_0.8-4_powerpc.changes E: python-minimock: malformed-python-version 2.4, 2.5, all ===== Why is 'dh --with python_central install' running 'dh_pysupport' at all? How can I stop that and only use 'dh_pycentral' as requested, without breaking the package build in the absence of 'python-support'? -- \ “What I have to do is see, at any rate, that I do not lend | `\ myself to the wrong which I condemn.” —Henry Thoreau, _Civil | _o__) Disobedience_ | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
