Control: reassign -1 dh-python Hi Drew,
As noted in the output of dh_missing, this need to be fixed in the tool installing the files and not debhelper. Reassigning accordingly, ~Niels PS: Quoting the bug content below in full for the new maintainer's sake. Drew Parsons: > Package: debhelper > Version: 13.5.2 > Severity: normal > > dh_python3 has a *.pyinstall mechanism for installing files as part of > a python module. > > dh_missing appears to be ignoring the *pyinstall files and reports the > python files as "missing", which from debhelper 13 causes the build to > fail. > > You can see an example in the getfem++ build, e.g. > https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=getfem%2B%2B&arch=amd64&ver=5.3%2Bdfsg1-3%2Bb11&stamp=1637484931&raw=0 > > getfem++ has debian/python3-getfem++.pyinstall containing > debian/tmp/usr/lib/python*/*-packages/getfem/*.py getfem > interface/src/python/*.so getfem > > so dh_python3 is handling the python files installed by the upstream > build system to debian/tmp. > > But dh_missing reports the false positive: > > dh_missing: warning: usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/getfem/__init__.py > exists in debian/tmp but is not installed to anywhere > dh_missing: warning: usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/getfem/getfem.py exists > in debian/tmp but is not installed to anywhere > The following debhelper tools have reported what they installed (with > files per package) > * dh_install: libgetfem++-dev (5), libgetfem5++ (2), libgmm++-dev (2), > python3-getfem++ (0) > * dh_installdocs: libgetfem++-dev (2), libgetfem5++ (0), libgmm++-dev > (0), python3-getfem++ (0) > If the missing files are installed by another tool, please file a bug > against it. > When filing the report, if the tool is not part of debhelper itself, > please reference the > "Logging helpers and dh_missing" section from the "PROGRAMMING" guide > for debhelper (10.6.3+). > (in the debhelper package: /usr/share/doc/debhelper/PROGRAMMING.gz) > Be sure to test with dpkg-buildpackage -A/-B as the results may vary > when only a subset is built > If the omission is intentional or no other helper can take care of this > consider adding the > paths to debian/not-installed. > > > [...]
