Source: gcc-4.2 Version: 4.2.2-7 Severity: normal When building a cross compiler targeting Debian-amd64, the executable prefix is x86_64-linux-gnu, but the alternatives are installed using the prefix x86-64-linux-gnu, i.e. with a hyphen instead of the underscore. e.g.:
/usr/bin/x86-64-linux-gnu-gcc -> /etc/alternatives/x86-64-linux-gnu-gcc -> /usr/bin/x86-64-linux-gnu-gcc-4.2, which doesn't exist. The postinst and prerm scripts are generated by these lines in debian/rules.d/binary-gcc-cross.mk: sed 's/cross-/$(TP)/g;s/-ver/$(pkg_ver)/g' < debian/gcc-cross.postinst > debian/$(p_gcc)/DEBIAN/postinst sed 's/cross-/$(TP)/g;s/-ver/$(pkg_ver)/g' < debian/gcc-cross.prerm > debian/$(p_gcc)/DEBIAN/prerm and similarly in binary-cpp-cross.mk and binary-cxx-cross.mk. The problem is that $(TP) has the underscore converted to a hyphen even though the actual executables do not: TP = $(subst _,-,$(DEB_TARGET_GNU_TYPE))- The file names passed to dh_movefiles are OK because they are constructed using $(DEB_TARGET_GNU_TYPE) directly, e.g.: files_gcc = \ $(PF)/bin/$(DEB_TARGET_GNU_TYPE)-gcc$(pkg_ver) \ [...] The minimal patch is to remove the substitution from the definition of $(TP): ===== --- debian/rules.defs +++ debian/rules.defs @@ -96,7 +96,7 @@ # LS: Library Suffix.
