Package: rsbackup
Version: 1.1-3
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: FTBFS regression
rsbackup fails to build from source on all architectures, which is a
regression. Tail of the log from amd64:
cd debian/rsbackup && \
find -name DEBIAN -prune -o -type f -print \
| sed 's/^\.\///' \
| xargs md5sum > DEBIAN/md5sums
dpkg-gencontrol -isp -prsbackup -Pdebian/rsbackup \
-Tdebian/substvars.rsbackup
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: -isp is deprecated; it is without effect
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: File::FcntlLock not available; using flock which is
not NFS-safe
chown -R root:root debian/rsbackup
chmod -R g-ws debian/rsbackup
dpkg --build debian/rsbackup ..
dpkg-deb: error: maintainer script `postrm' has bad permissions 644 (must be
>=0555 and <=0775)
debian/rules:39: recipe for target 'binary-rsbackup' failed
make: *** [binary-rsbackup] Error 2
debian/rsbackup.postrm was introduced to fix #773181, but sure enough it has
mode 0644. debian/rules just calls `cp' to install the file, hence the error.
The attached patch replaces `cp' with `install' so that it's not so fragile
in future regardless of source file mode.
