Hello, I have debian 2.2 installed on a powermac (powercenter pro w/G3 upgrade card). I find that 'debuild' fails to build a lot of source packages. The error seems to occur whenever the debian/rules script invokes 'test'. Here is an error I see when I attempt to build gawk. I have truncated the output a bit:
dpkg-source: building gawk using existing gawk_3.0.4.orig.tar.gz dpkg-source: building gawk in gawk_3.0.4-4.diff.gz dpkg-source: building gawk in gawk_3.0.4-4.dsc debian/rules build DEB_BUILD_ARCH=powerpc DEB_BUILD_GNU_CPU=powerpc DEB_BUILD_GNU_SYSTEM=linux DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE=powerpc-linux DEB_HOST_ARCH=powerpc DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU=powerpc DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM=linux DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE=powerpc-linux test -f gawkmisc.c -a -f debian/rules make: execvp: test: Too many levels of symbolic links make: *** [build] Error 127 debuild: fatal error at line 293: dpkg-buildpackage failed: Illegal seek The error is strange, gawkmisc.c is a hard link. Any ideas what the problem might be?
