Control: tag -1 + patch Hi, Quoting Mike Gabriel (2019-04-01 12:22:42)Package: sbuild Version: 0.78.1-1 Severity: important Hi, the members of the Freexian Extended LTS team need to be able to build packages for wheezy. I have recently upgraded my notebook to Debian 10 (pre) and from then on it failed building packages for wheezy-lts via sbuild. ``` +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Install package build dependencies | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Setup apt archive ----------------- Merged Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 9), libpam0g-dev, libselinux1-dev, libaudit-dev, build-essential, fakeroot Filtered Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 9), libpam0g-dev, libselinux1-dev, libaudit-dev, build-essential, fakeroot dpkg-deb: building package `sbuild-build-depends-main-dummy' in `/<<RESOLVERDIR>>/apt_archive/sbuild-build-depends-main-dummy.deb'. gzip: unrecognized option '--keep' Try `gzip --help' for more information. gzip failed: 256 E: cannot create dummy archive Failed to run apt-ftparchive. E: Setting up apt archive failed ``` I currently run a slightly patched version of sbuild (.debdiff is attached). With the below patch, I can build packages for wheezy again: ``` diff -Nru sbuild-0.78.1/debian/patches/support-gzip-in-wheezy.patch sbuild-0.78.1/debian/patches/support-gzip-in-wheezy.patch --- sbuild-0.78.1/debian/patches/support-gzip-in-wheezy.patch 1970-01-01 01:00:00.000000000 +0100 +++ sbuild-0.78.1/debian/patches/support-gzip-in-wheezy.patch 2019-04-01 11:33:06.000000000 +0200 @@ -0,0 +1,16 @@ +Description: gzip in wheezy lacks --keep option, so avoid using it. +Author: Mike Gabriel <[email protected]> + +--- a/lib/Sbuild/ResolverBase.pm ++++ b/lib/Sbuild/ResolverBase.pm +@@ -1445,8 +1445,8 @@ + closedir($dh); + } + +-system('gzip', '--keep', '--force', 'Packages') == 0 or die "gzip failed: $?\n"; +-system('gzip', '--keep', '--force', 'Sources') == 0 or die "gzip failed: $?\n"; ++system('gzip -c --force Packages > Packages.gz') == 0 or die "gzip failed: $?\n"; ++system('gzip -c --force Sources > Sources.gz' ) == 0 or die "gzip failed: $?\n"; + + my $packages_md5 = hash_file('Packages', 'md5sum'); + my $sources_md5 = hash_file('Sources', 'md5sum'); ```indeed I was not aware that the --keep option is a relatively recent additionto gzip. Does wheezy sbuild at least have the short option or is it completelymissing?
Wheezy's gzip (not sbuild, as written above) lacks the --keep functionality entirely. So neither "--keep" and nor "-k" are available.
Why do you think is this issue of severity important? Did you contact the release team about a possible freeze exception?
I assume that the RT will make a freeze exception for the above patch. One member of the release team is also an ELTS contributor (Emilio, in Cc:). Keeping Debian's tool chains intact, also for team's providing security support for old versions of Debian, seems justification enough for setting this bug's severity to important.
If you don't have a good feeling with this, could you still provide a package upgrade proposal (as .debdiff) and I let the RT pre-approve the to-be-uploaded package?
