Package: maven-debian-helper Version: 2.0.6 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
mh_resolve_dependencies throws an exception when run with the --non-interactive option, unless --no-parent has been set for the pom in debian/.poms e.g. ~/java/drools-6.3.0$ mh_resolve_dependencies --non-interactive --verbose dh_listpackages: cannot read debian/control: No such file or directory Analysing pom.xml... > dpkg --search /usr/share/maven-repo/org/kie/kie-parent-with-dependencies/*/* dpkg failed to execute successfully > apt-file search /usr/share/maven-repo/org/kie/kie-parent-with-dependencies Apr 06, 2016 3:30:12 AM org.debian.maven.packager.DependenciesSolver resolveDependencies SEVERE: Error while resolving ./pom.xml: Dependency not found org.kie:kie-parent-with-dependencies:pom:6.3.0.Final Apr 06, 2016 3:30:12 AM org.debian.maven.packager.DependenciesSolver resolveDependencies SEVERE: org.debian.maven.repo.DependencyNotFoundException: Dependency not found org.kie:kie-parent-with-dependencies:pom:6.3.0.Final at org.debian.maven.packager.DependenciesSolver.resolveDependency(DependenciesSolver.java:760) at org.debian.maven.packager.DependenciesSolver.resolveDependencies(DependenciesSolver.java:306) at org.debian.maven.packager.DependenciesSolver.solveDependencies(DependenciesSolver.java:261) at org.debian.maven.packager.DependenciesSolver.main(DependenciesSolver.java:960) (Similar behaviour has been seen running mh_resolve_dependencies in non-interactive mode on other packages) The underlying problem appears to be that the askIgnoreDependency in maven-packager-utils/src/main/java/org/debian/maven/packager/util/IgnoreDependencyQuestions.java will always return false in non-interactive mode. My suggested fix would be that askIgnoreDependency should return defaultToIgnore in non-interactive mode (i.e. true in this case) which is what I would consider to be the expected behaviour. Thanks.
