Package: src:pocketsphinx Version: 0.8+5prealpha-1 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 build-indep --with autoreconf,python2 dh_testdir -i dh_update_autotools_config -i dh_autoreconf -i libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in '.'. libtoolize: copying file './ltmain.sh' libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS, 'm4'. libtoolize: copying file 'm4/libtool.m4' libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltoptions.m4' libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltsugar.m4' libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltversion.m4' [... snipped ...] /bin/mkdir -p '/<<BUILDDIR>>/pocketsphinx-0.8+5prealpha/debian/tmp/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pocketsphinx' /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 __init__.py '/<<BUILDDIR>>/pocketsphinx-0.8+5prealpha/debian/tmp/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pocketsphinx' Byte-compiling python modules... __init__.py Byte-compiling python modules (optimized versions) ... __init__.py make[6]: Nothing to be done for 'install-data-am'. make[6]: Leaving directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/pocketsphinx-0.8+5prealpha/swig/python' make[5]: Leaving directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/pocketsphinx-0.8+5prealpha/swig/python' make[4]: Leaving directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/pocketsphinx-0.8+5prealpha/swig/python' make[4]: Entering directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/pocketsphinx-0.8+5prealpha/swig' make[5]: Entering directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/pocketsphinx-0.8+5prealpha/swig' make[5]: Nothing to be done for 'install-exec-am'. make[5]: Nothing to be done for 'install-data-am'. make[5]: Leaving directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/pocketsphinx-0.8+5prealpha/swig' make[4]: Leaving directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/pocketsphinx-0.8+5prealpha/swig' make[3]: Leaving directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/pocketsphinx-0.8+5prealpha/swig' make[3]: Entering directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/pocketsphinx-0.8+5prealpha' make[4]: Entering directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/pocketsphinx-0.8+5prealpha' make[4]: Nothing to be done for 'install-exec-am'. /bin/mkdir -p '/<<BUILDDIR>>/pocketsphinx-0.8+5prealpha/debian/tmp/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig' /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 pocketsphinx.pc '/<<BUILDDIR>>/pocketsphinx-0.8+5prealpha/debian/tmp/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig' make[4]: Leaving directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/pocketsphinx-0.8+5prealpha' make[3]: Leaving directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/pocketsphinx-0.8+5prealpha' make[2]: Leaving directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/pocketsphinx-0.8+5prealpha' for file in $(find debian/tmp/usr/lib/ -name "*.la"); do \ rm $file ; \ done make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/pocketsphinx-0.8+5prealpha' dh_install -i debian/rules override_dh_installdocs make[1]: Entering directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/pocketsphinx-0.8+5prealpha' dh_installdocs ln -sf /usr/share/javascript/jquery/jquery.js debian/pocketsphinx/usr/share/doc/pocketsphinx/html/jquery.js ln: failed to create symbolic link 'debian/pocketsphinx/usr/share/doc/pocketsphinx/html/jquery.js': No such file or directory debian/rules:24: recipe for target 'override_dh_installdocs' failed make[1]: *** [override_dh_installdocs] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/pocketsphinx-0.8+5prealpha' debian/rules:7: recipe for target 'binary-indep' failed make: *** [binary-indep] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary-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.
