Bug#481460: xcircuit FTBFS when built with -rsudo

2008-05-16 Thread Thiemo Seufer
Package: xcircuit
Version: 3.6.130.dfsg-1
Severity: serious

Xcircuit fails to build with -rsudo (like the autobuilders for alpha,
mips and mipsel do). This is caused by the debian/rules clean target
which touches config.status, which leads to wrong permissions for
the file.

I fail to understand why all this touch magic is done in the first
place, it looks like an attempt to avoid autotools despite patching
.in/.am files.

Hola Thiemo Seufer!

 mips and mipsel do). This is caused by the debian/rules clean target

 the file.

Yes, I was aware, and I even have the fixed package, I'll be uploading it
this weekend.

 I fail to understand why all this touch magic is done in the first
 place, it looks like an attempt to avoid autotools despite patching
 .in/.am files.

Yes, that's why.  The modification made in the .in/.am files is not worth
re-running all the autotools files, because it only deletes the
instructions regarding the directory removed due to dfsg issues.

Thanks for reminding me of this.
