Package: debhelper Version: 13.20 Severity: important Dear maintainers,
I'm doing packaging for a project that has multiple packages, each with one systemd unit file. The dh_installsystemd debhelper picks up on the unit files and start processing them, but soon hits an error where it tries to process a unit file for package A that belongs to package B. This is a debuild log snippet leading up to the error: make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/dmark/salsa/netatalk'dh_installchangelogs -O--buildsystem=meson+ninja dh_installman -O--buildsystem=meson+ninja dh_installinit -O--buildsystem=meson+ninja dh_installsystemd -O--buildsystem=meson+ninja dh_installsystemd: error: Package 'a2boot' does not install unit 'atalkd.service'. make: *** [debian/rules:11: binary] Error 25 dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary subprocess returned exit status 2 debuild: fatal error at line 1182: dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -ui -i -I failed The corresponding debian/rules file looks like this: https://salsa.debian.org/netatalk-team/netatalk/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/rules As you can see, the upstream build system generates the unit files, which we then move into debian/ in an override in order for dh_installsystemd to pick them up. The end result lineup of files is correct to my best understanding of dh_installsystemd. A snippet from the top: drwxr-xr-x 6 dmark dmark 4096 Oct 2 20:24 a2boot-rwxr-xr-x 1 dmark dmark 1973 Oct 2 20:24 a2boot.init -rw-r--r-- 1 dmark dmark 16 Oct 1 22:49 a2boot.install -rw-r--r-- 1 dmark dmark 28 Oct 1 22:49 a2boot.manpages -rw-r--r-- 1 dmark dmark 363 Oct 2 20:24 a2boot.service -rw-r--r-- 1 dmark dmark 117 Oct 2 20:24 a2boot.substvars drwxr-xr-x 6 dmark dmark 4096 Oct 2 20:24 atalkd -rwxr-xr-x 1 dmark dmark 2153 Oct 2 20:24 atalkd.init -rw-r--r-- 1 dmark dmark 124 Oct 1 22:49 atalkd.install -rw-r--r-- 1 dmark dmark 109 Oct 1 22:49 atalkd.lintian-overrides -rw-r--r-- 1 dmark dmark 232 Oct 1 22:49 atalkd.manpages -rw-r--r-- 1 dmark dmark 429 Oct 2 20:24 atalkd.postrm.debhelper -rw-r--r-- 1 dmark dmark 669 Oct 2 20:24 atalkd.service -rw-r--r-- 1 dmark dmark 117 Oct 2 20:24 atalkd.substvars [...] Do you have any idea if we are making some kind of mistake in our setup, or if this is a bug in the debhelper script? Right now we have a dirty workaround – 'dh_installsystemd || true' to ignore any error. The resulting packages look correct! Your support would be hugely appreciated. Sincerely, Daniel
