Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Ubuntu 9.04.
After getting firefox build-deps and getting source via apt-get source,
I tried to compile with:
fakeroot debian/rules binary
The build fails because ubuntu-useragent.js cannot be written because
its destination directory is non-existent. It turns out that the make
variable DEBIAN_FF3_VER is returning nil for some reason.
sed \
-e 's/@VENDOR@/'`lsb_release -i -s`'/g' \
-e 's/@VENDOR_SUB@/'`lsb_release -r -s`'/g' \
-e 's/@VENDOR_COMMENT@/'`lsb_release -c -s`'/g' \
< debian/ubuntu-useragent.js.tmpl >
debian/firefox-3.0/usr/lib/firefox-/defaults/preferences/ubuntu-useragent.js
/bin/sh: cannot create
debian/firefox-3.0/usr/lib/firefox-/defaults/preferences/ubuntu-useragent.js:
Directory nonexistent
Note that in the above path, firefox- should be firefox-3.0.10.
Note that DEBIAN_FF3_VER is defined as $(shell cat build-
tree/mozilla/browser/config/version.txt) and should return `3.0.10'.
This error is bizarre because several previous rules use the variable
and they work fine.
If I retry the compile, it works.
Digging into the build output, I see these lines as the first lines
after starting the build:
cd: 1: can't cd to build-tree/mozilla
cat: build-tree/mozilla/browser/config/version.txt: No such file or directory
cat: build-tree/mozilla/browser/config/version.txt: No such file or directory
cat: build-tree/mozilla/browser/config/version.txt: No such file or directory
cat: build-tree/mozilla/browser/config/version.txt: No such file or directory
cat: build-tree/mozilla/browser/config/version.txt: No such file or directory
Clearly this file is not getting built at the right time on the first
try, but since it's already there, the second try works fine. How does
this file get built? How can I ensure that it gets built before make
tries to build ubuntu-useragent.js?
This bug is not terribly important, because the compile does work on the
second try. However, it is really annoying because I have an automated
build process that depends on it working right the first time.
