thanks

The following patch should fix this issue, by using a new file called

debian/iipimage-server.install

instead of overriding dh_install. dh will know what it has to do in each case.

Bug#806048: iipimage: FTBFS when built with dpkg-buildpackage -A (No such file or directory)

Package: src:iipimage
Version: 0.9.9-3
User: sanv...@debian.org
Usertags: binary-indep
Severity: important

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(i.e. only architecture-independent packages), and it failed:


[...]
 fakeroot debian/rules binary-indep
dh binary-indep --with autotools_dev
   dh_testroot -i
   dh_prep -i
   debian/rules override_dh_auto_install

# for some reason it install fcgi headers
make[1]: Leaving directory '/<>'
   debian/rules override_dh_install

status 2


Sorry not to have a fix, as I am reporting many bugs similar to
this one, but I can give some general hints:

* If all the arch-independent packages are dummy transitional packages
released with jessie, the easy fix is to drop them now.
 
* If not, debian/rules should be modified so that the binary-indep
target works in all cases, even when binary-arch is not used (this is
what the "Architecture: all" autobuilder does). For that:

* If you are using debhelper, you might want to use options -a and -i
for dh_* commands so that they do not act on packages they do not
have to act.

* Also, if you are using dh, the (independently) optional targets
override_dh_foo-arch and override_dh_foo-indep (for several values
of "foo") may be useful to write a debian/rules which behaves exactly
as desired.


After checking that both "dpkg-buildpackage -A" and "dpkg-buildpackage -B"
work properly, this package will be suitable to be uploaded in
source-only form if you wish (you might want to try it).

Thanks.
