Hi,
I regularly use the template debian/rules file
/usr/share/doc/debhelper/examples/rules.multi2
that has binary-indep and binary-arch rules that both use a single
binary-common rule. The binary-common rule has lots of dh_* stuff
there, including dh_compress. I decided that compressing the HTML
files would be a bad idea, so I modified it to skip that one
package using
dh_compress -Nlibboost-doc
However, the binary-indep rule sets DH_OPTIONS=-i before building
binary-common meaning that there is *no* package for dh_compress
to act upon when "binary-indep" is invoked. The build dies with
the complaint of the subject line.
After puzzling this out, I worked around the problem using
dh_compress -Nlibboost-doc || true
to ignore the error.
Surely this is not the first time someone has run into this. Am I
doing something silly? It seems a bit odd to make the "no package to
build" diagnostic a fatal error.
Thanks,
-Steve
