So when I run "bzr bd", that file gets installed like this: > /bin/bash ../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c libappmenu.la '/home/charles/canonical/src/indicator-appmenu/build-area /indicator- appmenu-13.01.0+14.04.20131125/debian/tmp/usr/lib/indicators3/7/'
And the "find" rule in debian/rules to prune out the static & libtool libraries doesn't match this path: > override_dh_install: > find debian/indicator-appmenu -name \*.la -delete > find debian/indicator-appmenu -name \*.a -delete > dh_install --fail-missing Replacing "debian/indicator-appmenu-name" with "debian/tmp" should resolve this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-appmenu in Ubuntu.
