Package: pbuilder Version: 0.200 Severity: normal Tags: patch When issuing DIST=... pdebuild [1] from within a package source directory to start building it, /usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-buildpackage outputs the above error and build fails.
After searching it, it appears that the following line (#62) in file
/usr/bin/pdebuild:
${PBUILDERROOTCMD} ${PDEBUILD_PBUILDER} --build
${EXTRA_CONFIGFILE[@]/#/--configfile } --buildresult "${BUILDRESULT}"
--debbuildopts "" --debbuildopts "${DEBBUILDOPTS}" "$@"
../"${PKG_SOURCENAME}_${PKG_VERSION}".dsc
leads to the error. Specifically, it passes an empty argument through
"$@", which then makes the conditional code (while [ -n "$1" ]; do...
loop) in /usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-checkparams [2] to break early,
thus supplying an empty dsc filename to
/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-buildpackage.
A patch is attached that resolved this issue with my configuration.
The configuration in use is also attached, for your reference.
NOTES:
[1] pdebuild is allowed to run without pwd; relevant lines of /etc/sudoers are:
Cmnd_Alias PDEBUILD = /usr/bin/pdebuild,/usr/bin/debuild-pbuilder
DEVS HOST=(ALL) NOPASSWD: PDEBUILD
with DEVS being a User_Alias and HOST a Host_Alias.
[2] The debsums error below is due to the attached patch been applied to the
file in question.
