Bug#806658: sofia-sip: FTBFS when built with dpkg-buildpackage -A (No such file or directory)

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#806658: sofia-sip: FTBFS when built with dpkg-buildpackage -A (No such file or directory)

[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:sofia-sip
Version: 1.12.11+20110422.1-2
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
dh_testdir
/usr/bin/make -C objs doxygen
make[1]: *** objs: No such file or directory.  Stop.
debian/rules:49: recipe for target 'build-indep-stamp' failed
make: *** [build-indep-stamp] Error 2
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.
