Package: src:qmhandle Version: 1.3.2-1 User: sanv...@debian.org Usertags: arch-all-swapped-binary-targets Severity: serious
Dear maintainer: I tried to build this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A" (which is what the "Arch: all" autobuilder would do to build it) but it failed: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [...] fakeroot debian/rules binary-indep dh_testdir dh_testroot dh_clean -k dh_clean: dh_clean -k is deprecated; use dh_prep instead dh_installdirs # Add here commands to install the package into debian/qmhandle. install -m755 qmHandle debian/qmhandle/usr/bin/ mv debian/qmhandle/usr/bin/qmHandle debian/qmhandle/usr/bin/qmhandle dpkg-genchanges --build=all >../qmhandle_1.3.2-1_all.changes dpkg-genchanges: error: binary build with no binary artifacts found; cannot distribute dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-genchanges gave error exit status 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Because this source package only generates "Arch: all" packages, this is usually a sign that the binary-arch and binary-indep targets of debian/rules are just swapped. Note: I'm reporting this as "serious" after getting the ok from the release managers. See Bug #830997 for details. Once that "dpkg-buildpackage -A" work properly, the package would be suitable to be uploaded in source-only form if you wish. Thanks.
