Public bug reported:
On a trusty system which by default has python3-plainbox and plainbox-
provider-{resource-generic,checkbox} installed, trying to dpkg-
buildpackage from a checkout of lp:ubuntu/checkbox fails, ultimately
with this:
======================================================================

dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2
How I reproduced this:
- On a just-installed desktop Trusty system, install bzr, build-deps for
checkbox, and quilt.
- branch lp:ubuntu/checkbox and change to that directory
- dpkg-buildpackage -S
At Zygmunt's suggestion I uninstalled all checkbox and plainbox packages
to ensure things run against the source and not installed packages. In
that case, things work as expected.
The problem is that the build script continues to run tests for the
plainbox portion of the tree (even if it only packages checkbox-gui),
and those fail in the presence of an installed version of plainbox.
A possible solution is to update debian/rules so it doesn't run those
tests.
Also, to clarify, this doesn't affect building a source package (e.g.
dpkg-buildpackage -S), nor does it affect builds in "clean" environments
such as sbuild, which is used to generate the actual Ubuntu packages.
I'll set this to Triaged since it was reproduced both by Zygmunt and I,
the problem has been identified and a solution has been proposed.
