Package: src:python2.7 Version: 2.7.10-5 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_testdir /usr/bin/make -C Doc html make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/Doc' sphinx-build -b html -d build/doctrees -D latex_paper_size= -D today='October 10, 2015' -D html_last_updated_fmt='October 10, 2015' . build/html Running Sphinx v1.3.1 making output directory... loading pickled environment... not yet created building [mo]: targets for 0 po files that are out of date building [html]: targets for 479 source files that are out of date updating environment: 479 added, 0 changed, 0 removed reading sources...

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.
