Package: src:zeroc-ice Version: 3.5.1-6.3 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 build-indep dh_testdir -i dh_auto_configure -i debian/rules override_dh_auto_build-indep make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>' mkdir -p cpp/bin cpp/lib make[2]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/cpp' making all in config make[3]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/cpp/config' echo "" [... snipped ...] icegridadmin-javafx-jar: icegridadmin-bundle: dist-jar: install-common: install-jar: Copying 1 file to /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/tmp/usr/share/java Copying 1 file to /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/tmp/usr/share/java Copying 1 file to /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/tmp/usr/share/java Copying 1 file to /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/tmp/usr/share/java Copying 1 file to /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/tmp/usr/share/java Copying 1 file to /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/tmp/usr/share/java Copying 1 file to /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/tmp/usr/share/java Copying 1 file to /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/tmp/usr/share/java install-tasks: Copying 1 file to /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/tmp/usr/share/java install-slice: Created dir: /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/tmp/usr/slice Copying 75 files to /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/tmp/usr/slice install-icegridgui-bundle: install: BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 31 seconds make[2]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/java' cp: cannot create regular file '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/tmp/usr/bin/icegrid-gui': No such file or directory chmod: cannot access '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/tmp/usr/bin/icegrid-gui': No such file or directory debian/rules-java.mk:21: recipe for target 'debian/stamp-install-java' failed make[1]: *** [debian/stamp-install-java] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>' debian/rules:100: recipe for target 'binary-indep' failed make: *** [binary-indep] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary-indep gave error exit status 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry not to have a fix, as I am reporting many bugs similar to this one. 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.
