Hello everybody,

I don't usually get answers on this kind of basic questions, so I post it to
keep the mailing list alive.

I am trying to re-compile a package that I took from Debian sid. And I got
the following error.
See www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#beprecise ;)
If you want an answer, tell us which package.


Thanks Isaac,

I don't post basic questions very often as I can mostly find the answers by searching the internet and trying myself to solve them base on the hints mentioned on similar problems. But if I am stuck, I usually try to ask them as specific and detail as possible in a long boring email like https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/20150607.154320.b31195f0.en.html.

I want to switch off one of my VPS' by end of this year as I am not happy with the provider. It has been idle and doing nothing in the last 2 months as there is no application running on it after I clean installed it due to the problem that the provider made. Instead of restoring the backup, I moved all applications to my other VPS. Before the contract expire, I thought I better try to use it to host electrum server (https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum-server) for myself which I have never done before. But I am stuck in re-compiling https://packages.debian.org/sid/bitcoind which is required for that.

There is no "common-install-prehook-arch" either in the source package or
the debian directory itself. So I am not sure why the debian/rules picks
that up. Searching the internet also does not give me hints on what causing
that. Could anybody please give me some suggestions where to look at?
Do you mean no such *file*, or no such *string*?
If the former, see if you can find that string in debian/rules.


I did "grep -R common-install-prehook-arch *" or "grep -R prehook *" on bitcoin-0.11.0 directory, but it found nothing. I also manually checked the debian/rules.


Also, google suggests that this has something to do with cdbs; make sure
that's installed.

Yes. I also thought that was related to cdbs package. The one installed was from wheezy repository. But I still get the same error after I upgraded that.

anto@hp8530w:~$ apt-cache policy cdbs
cdbs:
