Package: src:heimdal Version: 1.6~rc2+dfsg-10 User: sanv...@debian.org Usertags: binary-indep Severity: important
Dear maintainer: I tried to build this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A" (i.e. only architecture-independent packages), and it failed: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [...] fakeroot debian/rules binary-indep dh binary-indep --with autoreconf --parallel dh_testroot -i -O--parallel dh_prep -i -O--parallel dh_auto_install -i -O--parallel make -j1 install DESTDIR=/<<BUILDDIR>>/heimdal-1.6\~rc2\+dfsg/debian/tmp AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR=no make[1]: Entering directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/heimdal-1.6~rc2+dfsg' Making install in include make[2]: Entering directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/heimdal-1.6~rc2+dfsg/include' Making install in kadm5 make[3]: Entering directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/heimdal-1.6~rc2+dfsg/include/kadm5' make[4]: Entering directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/heimdal-1.6~rc2+dfsg/include/kadm5' make install-data-hook make[5]: Entering directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/heimdal-1.6~rc2+dfsg/include/kadm5' /bin/bash ../../cf/install-catman.sh install "/usr/bin/install -c -m 644" "/bin/bash /<<BUILDDIR>>/heimdal-1.6~rc2+dfsg/install-sh -d" "."

For that: * If you are using debhelper, you might want to use options -a and -i for dh_* commands so that they do not act on packages they do not have to act. * Also, if you are using dh, the (independently) optional targets override_dh_foo-arch and override_dh_foo-indep (for several values of "foo") may be useful to write a debian/rules which behaves exactly as desired. After checking that both "dpkg-buildpackage -A" and "dpkg-buildpackage -B" work properly, this package will be suitable to be uploaded in source-only form if you wish (you might want to try it). Thanks.
