Package: dh-lua Version: 24 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Attempts to build the hamlib Lua bindings fail if the package was prepared on a different arch to the one it's trying to build on (see #869120). This was caused by there being an existing debian/<package>.install which dh-lua.Makefile.multiple tried to append to without checking that the "gnu triplet" was the same. This results in files which look like: ---------------------------------------------------- usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lua/5.2/Hamliblua.so usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblua5.2-hamlib2.so.* usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lua/5.3/Hamliblua.so usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblua5.3-hamlib2.so.* usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/lua/5.2/Hamliblua.so usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/liblua5.2-hamlib2.so.* usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/lua/5.3/Hamliblua.so usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/liblua5.3-hamlib2.so.* ----------------------------------------------------- Which fail to build with errors like: dh_install: lua-hamlib2 missing files: usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblua5.2-hamlib2.so.* dh_install: Cannot find (any matches for) "usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lua/5.3/Hamliblua.so" (tried in ., debian/tmp) The solution I've used is to remove the debian/<package>.install files in the clean step. However there is obviously some reason that dh-lua is appending to the files rather than over-writing them so removing them seems counter-productive. Either dh-lua need to check that the "gnu triplet" of lines already in the file is valid for the current build when appending to the file or it needs to overwrite the file instead (or possibly throw an error about the file existing when it shouldn't). -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages dh-lua depends on: ii dctrl-tools 2.24-2+b1 ii debhelper 10.2.5 ii libfile-find-rule-perl 0.34-1 ii liblua5.1-0-dev 5.1.5-8.1+b2 ii liblua5.2-dev 5.2.4-1.1+b2 ii liblua5.3-dev 5.3.3-1 ii libluasandbox-bin 1.2.1-4 ii libluasandbox-dev 1.2.1-4 ii libtool 2.4.6-2 ii libtool-bin 2.4.6-2 ii lua5.1 5.1.5-8.1+b2 ii lua5.2 5.2.4-1.1+b2 ii lua5.3 5.3.3-1 ii perl 5.24.1-3 ii pkg-config 0.29-4+b1 dh-lua recommends no packages. dh-lua suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
