The changes file hasn't been processed yet, so the reschedule command
couldn't be processed either. I'll send it again when I get the mail for
the upload processing.

Kind Regards,

Bas

Thanks for the feedback, I've rescheduled the upload to DELAYED/5.

Since there has been no activity on this RC bug, I've uploaded a 0-day
NMU with the patch from my previous message.

Hi Sandro,

Because this RC bug is threatening the removal of several reverse
dependencies I had a look at fixing it. The attached patch adds the
build-arch target to the build-indep target dependencies to have the
missing files built.

Kind Regards,

Bas

Greetings.

I have the ok from the Release Managers to consider this issue as RC
for stretch. I'm going to wait at least one week before raising
this to "serious".

If you need help to fix this bug, please tag it as "help".

Thanks.

Bug#806606: basemap: FTBFS when built with dpkg-buildpackage -A (No such file or directory)

Package: src:basemap
Version: 1.0.7+dfsg-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:


[...]
 debian/rules build-indep
# HACK: we need to import axes_grid1 but we need to import it from the "local"
# mpl_toolkits namespace
ln -s $(dirname $(python -c "import mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 as p; print 
p.__file__")) /<>/basemap-1.0.7+dfsg/$(python -c "from 
distutils.command.build import build ; from distutils.core import Distribution 
; b = build(Distribution()) ; b.finalize_options() ; print 
b.build_platlib")/mpl_toolkits/
ln: target 
'/<>/basemap-1.0.7+dfsg/build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/mpl_toolkits/' is 
not a directory: No such file or directory
debian/rules:39: recipe for target 'build-indep' failed
make: *** [build-indep] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build-indep gave error exit status 2


Sorry not to have a fix, as I am reporting many bugs similar to
this one. The common hints are:

* If the only architecture-independent packages are dummy transitional
ones and they were released with jessie, the easy fix is to drop them
now.

* When using "dh", it is allowed to use (independently)
optional targets override_dh_foo-arch and override_dh_foo-indep
(for several values of "foo").


Once that both "dpkg-buildpackage -A" and "dpkg-buildpackage -B" work
properly, the package would be suitable to be uploaded in source-only
form if you wish.

Thanks.
