Possible workaround? It seems that after "manually" providing the compat file in debian directory in the buildarea, if I run the "naked" debuild commands:
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -ui then dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -ui -S Instead of what is documented: bzr builddeb -- -us -uc and bzr builddeb -S All seems to be working fine and I get a binary deb package (first command) and a source package for launchpad. Although I don't get "lintian" that seemed to be embedded when using the bzr wrapper... although that was anyway failing with my 16.04 install for unknown reason! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1954595 Title: bzr dh-make crash - no attribute 'initialize_on_transport' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-packaging-guide/+bug/1954595/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
