For the first time, I have a cron file for a package. The file is in the debian directory:
ezili:~/Debian/packages/bigbrother/bigbrother-1.08a> ls -alt debian/cron.daily -rw-r--r-- 1 bortz bortz 75 Dec 8 14:20 debian/cron.daily And the debian/rules contain: dh_installcron which was put there by dh_make. But the file installed in debian/tmp is executable: ezili:~/Debian/packages/bigbrother/bigbrother-1.08a> ls -alt debian/tmp/etc/cron.daily/ total 3 drwxr-xr-x 2 bortz bortz 1024 Dec 8 15:55 . -rwxr-xr-x 1 bortz bortz 75 Dec 8 15:55 bigbrother drwxr-xr-x 4 bortz bortz 1024 Dec 8 15:55 .. lintian complains and of course cron does, too: /etc/cron.daily/bigbrother: run-parts: failed to exec /etc/cron.daily/bigbrother: Exec format error run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/bigbrother exited with return code 1 Whose fault is it? dh_installcron? (It just calls install without the -m option.) Mine?
