Package: apq Version: 3.2.0-2 Severity: important Dear maintainer:
While building this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A", I noticed that the build system does not check for errors as required by Policy 4.6 (this is a policy "must" directive). Compare the following build logs. In the first one, some kind of error happened: I can't find the format file `pdflatex.fmt'! Error while building PDF file but the build continued anyway and created an incorrect package. This is easy to check by doing this: $ grep manual.pdf.gz apq_3.2.0-2_amd64-20160227-0231 [ no output ] $ grep manual.pdf.gz apq_3.2.0-2_amd64-20160307-1400 -rw-r--r-- root/root 613538 2016-03-07 14:01 ./usr/share/doc/libapq-doc/manual.pdf.gz The attached patch should probably fix this bug, by not hiding the errors when they happen. Thanks.
