Package: src:open-vm-tools Version: 2:10.1.0-4449150-2 Severity: serious Tags: patch
Dear maintainer: I tried to build this package in stretch with "dpkg-buildpackage -A" (which is what the "Arch: all" autobuilder would do to build it) but it failed: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [...] dh_installdeb -i -O--sourcedirectory=open-vm-tools dh_gencontrol -i -O--sourcedirectory=open-vm-tools dpkg-gencontrol: warning: File::FcntlLock not available; using flock which is not NFS-safe debian/rules override_dh_md5sums make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>' dh_md5sums # remove broken \ escaping from md5sums sed -i -e 's,^\\,,' -e 's,\\\\,\\,' debian/open-vm-tools-desktop/DEBIAN/md5sums sed: can't read debian/open-vm-tools-desktop/DEBIAN/md5sums: No such file or directory debian/rules:126: recipe for target 'override_dh_md5sums' failed make[1]: *** [override_dh_md5sums] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>' debian/rules:8: recipe for target 'binary-indep' failed make: *** [binary-indep] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary-indep gave error exit status 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This happens because we are creating arch-independent packages only, so debian/open-vm-tools-desktop/[...] does not exist. The trivial fix is to override dh_md5sums only for arch-dependent packages, as in the patch below. Warning: I have not actually tested the patch. Please check that both "dpkg-buildpackage -A" and "dpkg-buildpackage -B" work before uploading. If you can upload this in source only form (dpkg-buildpackage -S), even better, as we would get official build logs here: https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=open-vm-tools and bugs like this one would never propagate to testing.
