I think Santiago is on to the underlying problem here.
In /usr/bin/dh, you can see that dh_makeshlibs is part of @ba, the
"arch"-specific (not indep) list of dh_* sequences.
Indeed, i can replicate the build failure on my system that has an older
version of libgmime-2.6-0 installed if i just do:
mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/libgmime-2.6-0\:amd64.shlibs{,.bak}
It looks like i can work around this with the following snippet in
gmime's debian/rules:
-------------
# https://bugs.debian.org/806033 -- dh_clideps expects to see
# dh_makeshlibs called before it, but dh_makeshlibs is never called
# when building only arch-indep packages. So we force the issue by
# making a phony shlibs.local file that dh_clideps will accept, if no
# others exist:
override_dh_clideps:
if ! grep -q . debian/*/DEBIAN/shlibs; then echo libgmime-2.6 0
libgmime-2.6-0 > debian/shlibs.local; fi
dh_clideps
rm -f debian/shlibs.local
-------------
But it would be better to have the problem fixed in the
debhelper/cli-common-dev toolchain, so i've cloned this bug report and
assigned it to cli-common-dev.
Are there any other source packages that build an arch:any C library
package and arch:all cli bindings for it that use this toolchain? I
would think all such packages would run into this bug if they are
submitted as source-only uploads.
