Package: libdebhelper-perl Version: 13.24.2 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? This was triggered while attemting to harden first the execution and then the build of LinuxCNC. Many scripts of that package had missing quotes in shell scripts and thus were susceptible to blanks or other unexpected characters in file names. We found that it still fails when a directory in the path to the build directory had a blank, invoking "make" directly. I had now tried to invoke it via dpkg-buildpackage and, well, it did not get very far. https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/pull/3309 gives a bit of context from our side. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? The directory I cloned linuxcnc into I renamed to "linux cnc", entered it (cd !$ worked fine), ran ./debian/configure no-docs, then dpkg-buildpackage. * What was the outcome of this action? make[1]: Entering directory '/home/moeller/GitHub/linux cnc' dh_auto_build -- build-software date: invalid date '@' date: invalid date '@' Use of uninitialized value $abspath in -d at /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Buildsystem.pm line 140. Comment: It is a trivial "if ( -d $abspath " that is apparently missing some quotes. But there is likely more to it downstream. dh_auto_build: error: invalid or non-existing path to the source directory: /home/moeller/GitHub/linuxcnc/src Comment: THat path is indeed not existing. I had renamed "linuxcnc" to "linux cnc" for this test. Same shell, nothing logged in from somewhere else or so. make[1]: *** [debian/rules:55: override_dh_auto_build-arch] Error 255 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/moeller/GitHub/linux cnc' make: *** [debian/rules:43: build] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build subprocess returned exit status 2 moeller@mariner1:/home/moeller/GitHub/linux cnc$ * What outcome did you expect instead? The error in the LinuxCNC Makefile with its very own path expansion should have surfaced. This is much earlier. It would be lovely to add to the CI the execution of various debhelper utils from a directory that has a blank in its name. -- System Information: Debian Release: 13.0 APT prefers stable-security APT policy: (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.10.9-amd64 (SMP w/24 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages libdebhelper-perl depends on: ii perl 5.40.1-6 libdebhelper-perl recommends no packages. libdebhelper-perl suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
