Package: crystalcursors Version: 1.1.1-6 Severity: grave Tags: patch Because of the lack of "touch patch-stamp", or anything else that creates patch-stamp, in the patch-stamp target, patch-stamp, configure-stamp, and build-stamp are redone when debian/rules binary is called. That might not be so bad in itself, but the upstream Makefile then tries to create 20 directories that already exist, failing miserably.
I think that the "dpatch call-all -a=pkg-info > patch-stamp" found in
dpatch(1) is just an example and irrelevant with simple dpatches.
So, in debian/rules,
touch patch-stamp
at the end of the patch-stamp target should suffice.
In addition, tell upstream to fix the Makefile so that it does nothing when
nothing needs to be done, instead of failing.
