Ok, so it turns out that the rebuild worked fine on my local machine, but the package built by the official build servers still have a missing MANIFEST.MF (https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/all/freeplane/filelist) :(
Talked a bit with the Debian maintainer which found that the underlying issue is the parallel build of the package. (I suppose the build servers do more aggressive parallelizing than my computer.) A fix is underway for Debian, and we hope to be able to sync or patch the Ubuntu package before the release of Artful as well. Also found a corresponding bug report in Debian now, so attaching a bug watch. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #877729 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=877729 ** Also affects: freeplane (Debian) via https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=877729 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1720670 Title: Freeplane fails to start in Ubuntu 17.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freeplane/+bug/1720670/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
