Hello Lifeng, Excellent, I applied the patches, and it now builds successfully. The git repository is updated.
I tested the package afterwards, and there seems to be some issue with the wrapper scripts g4run/g4env. g4run is essential for this package (you find it in debian/scripts). If you execute "g4run g4env", you are supposed to get the environment variables printed, but it returned nothing for me. I will have a look (anyone are welcome to fix!). I checked, and I have no changes made to the scripts since the previous build. Further, I have pretty much no changes to the pathces, except for the "set fortran compiler" one since it used cernlib scripts. I also have some lintian errors/warnings: Now running lintian... W: geant4 source: patch-system-but-no-source-readme W: geant4 source: ancient-standards-version 3.7.3 (current is 3.9.1) E: geant4-common: maintainer-script-modifies-ld-so-conf preinst:17 E: geant4-common: package-modifies-ld.so-search-path etc/ld.so.conf.d/geant4-common.conf W: geant4-common: symlink-is-self-recursive usr/lib/geant4/Linux-g++ . N: 6 tags overridden (6 warnings) Finished running lintian. I know Kevin had it "lintian free" back in the days, but as I have only recently become aware of this, I do not know when it changed. Would be good to improve if someone knows how to.
