Hi, I just got an FTBFS bug on cernlib from a buildd. The problem is that the buildd didn't install the Build-Depends-Indep dependency (tetex-bin) before running dpkg-buildpackage (which in turn calls debian/rules build). Therefore the build died in the debian/rules build-indep target. Is this expected? According to debian-policy section 7.6 and footnote 36, Build-Depends-Indep is supposed to be satisfied before calling debian/rules build. Why would a buildd call the build target instead of build-arch or binary-arch?
I'm going to have to upload a new version anyway because the upstream build system only works for i386 and powerpc, but I'd like to know whether I should fix the problem above simply by moving tetex-bin from Build-Depends-Indep to Build-Depends. Or am I not understanding something? The buildd log is here: http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=cernlib&ver=2003.08.21-1&arch=hppa&stamp=1064263359&file=log&as=raw and the bug is here: http://bugs.debian.org/212241 thanks, -- Kevin McCarty Physics Department [EMAIL PROTECTED] Princeton University www.princeton.edu/~kmccarty Princeton, NJ 08544
