Control: severity -1 serious Control: affects -1 mclibs Control: tags -1 patch
The FTBFS is caused by the following rule:
debian/control.new: $(wildcard debian/control.d/*.control)
cat $^ > $@
There seems to be no guarantee about the sortedness of the result of "wildcard"
- hence from invocation to invocation the order may change. Consequently the
output varies, and hence the test
[ -z "`diff debian/control debian/control.new`" ]
fails. Here's a summary from the mclibs package, which suffers from the same
problem as it uses cernlib-debian.mk:
~/mclibs-20061220+dfsg3# diff -u debian/control debian/control.new | grep

+Package: libisajet758-3-gfortran
Amending said rule as follows
debian/control.new: $(wildcard debian/control.d/*.control)
cat $(sort $^) > $@
should do the trick (it does make things work for mclibs without any change to
mclibs).
Best,
