Package: po4a Version: 0.33-1 dpkg 1.15.1 (on the branch whose status is currently disputed) does not build on sid because po4a spins on the cpu consuming more and more memory.
I reproduced the bug like this: really pbuilder --build --distribution sid --buildresult /u/ian/an-things/Dpkg2/build/result dpkg_1.15.1.dsc 2>&1 |tee log of which the important part is this: pbuilder --build --distribution sid dpkg_1.15.1.dsc At http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ian/2008-03-10-po4a-bug/ you can find dpkg 1.15.1 in Debian source package format, and the full log from the build (the file `log' from tee, above). I left it running since about 8pm last night and when I came in just now it had used 450Mby and had produced no further output. I sent it a SIGTERM to get my computer back. Here is the invocation command line in context: make[3]: Entering directory `/tmp/buildd/dpkg-1.15.1/build-tree/origins' make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/buildd/dpkg-1.15.1/build-tree/origins' Making all in man make[3]: Entering directory `/tmp/buildd/dpkg-1.15.1/build-tree/man' po4a --no-backups --variable srcdir=../../man \ ../../man/po/po4a.cfg make[3]: *** [man.stamp] Terminated It may be that there are some problems with the translations. There were many translation changes in the git tree which my package inherited, which had not previously been released and had perhaps therefore never been built in a clean sid chroot with recent po4a. Even so, if it is due to a bad translation it would be good to have an error message rather than this misbehaviour. 1.15.0 which you can find in the same directory built in a clean lenny chroot. I don't think I've run a formal test of 1.15.1 on lenny. Thanks, Ian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
