--- Begin Message ---Source: golang-goprotobuf Version: 1.3.4-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I'm trying to package github.com/jhump/protoreflect, which depends on golang-goprotobuf. While building the test files, I get hit by these error messages: ~~~~ panic: no such file: "google/protobuf/compiler/plugin.proto" goroutine 1 [running]: github.com/jhump/protoreflect/desc/protoparse.init.1() /build/golang-github-jhump-protoreflect-XXyGrR/golang-github-jhump-protoreflect-1.8.1/_build/src/github.com/jhump/protoreflect/desc/protoparse/std_imports.go:46 +0x2c6 FAIL github.com/jhump/protoreflect/desc/protoprint 0.019s FAIL github.com/jhump/protoreflect/dynamic [build failed] ~~~~ Looking into the test file desc/protoparse/std_imports.go [1], I see that the code tries to import a number of paths, including: ~~~~ standardFilenames := []string{ "google/protobuf/any.proto", "google/protobuf/api.proto", "google/protobuf/compiler/plugin.proto", "google/protobuf/descriptor.proto", ~~~~ After much research, I found out that the filename registered for 'compiler/plugin.proto'is wrong in the generated code: ~~~~ # cd /usr/share/gocode/src/github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go/plugin # grep -ri RegisterFile plugin.pb.go: proto.RegisterFile("plugin.proto", fileDescriptor_22a625af4bc1cc87) ~~~~ For reference, this same file in the source package (ie. before code regeneration, cf. [2]): ~~~~ # cd golang-goprotobuf-debian-packaging # git checkout debian/1.3.4-2 # cd protoc-gen-go/plugin # grep -ri RegisterFile plugin.pb.go:func init() { proto.RegisterFile("google/protobuf/compiler/plugin.proto", fileDescriptor0) } ~~~~ This is the right value, ie. 'google/protobuf/compiler/plugin.proto'. It looks like the debian patch that forces code regeneration is wrong and breaks things.
