Bug#302677: qmail: FTBFS: Missing Build-Depends on 'groff-base' and missing users and groups
Hi! I think it is an FTBFS bug. The following should generally work: apt-get source qmail cd qmail-* dpkg-buildpackage For qmail, this does not work because of the missing Build-Depends on groff-base and because of the missing users/groups. Those are needed to create 'qmail-src'. It should be possible to build the 'qmail-src' package. Yes, you're right. I missed one point: it's also FTBFS for qmail-src, not only for qmail (and caused by qmail). My mistake! Hopefully, someone will be able to upload new version soon. th. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bug#302677: qmail: FTBFS: Missing Build-Depends on 'groff-base' and missing users and groups
Hi Andreas! I'm not sure if this really is FTBFS bug. There is no official qmail binary package in Debian, there's only qmail source package, from which qmail-src package is built. build-qmail script from qmail-src package should be used to build qmail binary package. Also note, that qmail-src does depend on groff-base and also does create appropriate users/groups. So no FTBFS when building qmail package this (supported) way. I guess autobuilders are not trying to build qmail, just qmail-src. Regarding your patch, no objections against Build-Depends, probably whole Depends line of qmail-src should be used as Build-Depends for qmail: dpkg-dev (= 1.4.0.20), patch (= 2.5-0bo1), gcc, make, fakeroot | sudo, groff-base, debconf However, part creating users/groups is bit bogus. Qmail expects UIDs (not user names!) of its users to be constant since compilation. If you would try to install such package on other machine with no qmail users, they will be created by preinst script (see debian/preinst) with Debian default UIDs. Qmail will not start on such machine and will complain about non-existent users. So users/groups should be created with appropriate UIDs/GIDs OR attached patch can be applied. It disables generation of auto_uids.c file (specifies UIDs which are compiled into qmail binaries) at build time and uses static file with Debian default UIDs. It's just a copy of debian/debian-default_uids.c. I consider latter approach to be better (no account creation/deletion needed on build machine), however maybe Jon is aware of significant problems with this approach, because of which it is not used (apart from problems in enviroment with existing qmail users with different UIDs, which should IMHO be handled in preinst script). But is it really RC FTBFS bug? th. diff -ruN qmail-1.03-orig/Makefile qmail-1.03/Makefile --- qmail-1.03-orig/Makefile2005-05-04 15:30:03.0 +0200 +++ qmail-1.03/Makefile 2005-05-04 14:09:48.0 +0200 @@ -110,19 +110,19 @@ compile auto_split.c ./compile auto_split.c -auto_uids.c: \ -auto-uid auto-gid conf-users conf-groups - ( ./auto-uid auto_uida `head -1 conf-users` \ - ./auto-uid auto_uidd `head -2 conf-users | tail -1` \ - ./auto-uid auto_uidl `head -3 conf-users | tail -1` \ - ./auto-uid auto_uido `head -4 conf-users | tail -1` \ - ./auto-uid auto_uidp `head -5 conf-users | tail -1` \ - ./auto-uid auto_uidq `head -6 conf-users | tail -1` \ - ./auto-uid auto_uidr `head -7 conf-users | tail -1` \ - ./auto-uid auto_uids `head -8 conf-users | tail -1` \ - ./auto-gid auto_gidq `head -1 conf-groups` \ - ./auto-gid auto_gidn `head -2 conf-groups | tail -1` \ - ) auto_uids.c.tmp mv auto_uids.c.tmp auto_uids.c +#auto_uids.c: \ +#auto-uid auto-gid conf-users conf-groups +# ( ./auto-uid auto_uida `head -1 conf-users` \ +# ./auto-uid auto_uidd `head -2 conf-users | tail -1` \ +# ./auto-uid auto_uidl `head -3 conf-users | tail -1` \ +# ./auto-uid auto_uido `head -4 conf-users | tail -1` \ +# ./auto-uid auto_uidp `head -5 conf-users | tail -1` \ +# ./auto-uid auto_uidq `head -6 conf-users | tail -1` \ +# ./auto-uid auto_uidr `head -7 conf-users | tail -1` \ +# ./auto-uid auto_uids `head -8 conf-users | tail -1` \ +# ./auto-gid auto_gidq `head -1 conf-groups` \ +# ./auto-gid auto_gidn `head -2 conf-groups | tail -1` \ +# ) auto_uids.c.tmp mv auto_uids.c.tmp auto_uids.c auto_uids.o: \ compile auto_uids.c diff -ruN qmail-1.03-orig/TARGETS qmail-1.03/TARGETS --- qmail-1.03-orig/TARGETS 2005-05-04 15:30:03.0 +0200 +++ qmail-1.03/TARGETS 2005-05-04 14:09:07.0 +0200 @@ -154,7 +154,6 @@ auto-uid auto-gid.o auto-gid -auto_uids.c auto_uids.o qmail-lspawn qmail-getpw.o diff -ruN qmail-1.03-orig/auto_uids.c qmail-1.03/auto_uids.c --- qmail-1.03-orig/auto_uids.c 1970-01-01 01:00:00.0 +0100 +++ qmail-1.03/auto_uids.c 2005-05-04 14:08:32.0 +0200 @@ -0,0 +1,10 @@ +int auto_uida = 64010; +int auto_uidd = 64011; +int auto_uidl = 64015; +int auto_uido = 0; +int auto_uidp = 64016; +int auto_uidq = 64014; +int auto_uidr = 64013; +int auto_uids = 64012; +int auto_gidq = 64010; +int auto_gidn = 65534;

Package: qmail Version: 1.03-36 Severity: serious Tags: patch When building 'qmail' in a clean 'unstable' chroot, I get the following error: /usr/bin/make man make[1]: Entering directory `/qmail-1.03' nroff -man qmail-local.8 qmail-local.0 /bin/sh: nroff: command not found make[1]: *** [qmail-local.0] Error 127 make[1]: Leaving directory `/qmail-1.03' make: *** [build] Error 2 Please add the missing Build-Depends on 'groff-base' to debian/control. Additionally, the package does not build because some users and groups are missing (user 'alias' and 'qmail*', group 'nofiles'). I am not really sure what to do about that.
