Package: libdebhelper-perl Version: 13.24.2 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]Dear Maintainer,
Hi, Thanks for filing the bug.I am open to reviewing patches or MRs to solve problems and add working CI pipelines involving spaces to avoid regressions. However, I do not expect to commit time solve this problem.
* What led up to the situation?
[...]
* What was the outcome of this action?
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/moeller/GitHub/linux cnc'
dh_auto_build -- build-software
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.
Perl and shell differs here: $ touch "foo bar" $ perl -E 'my $f = "foo bar"; say "exists" if -e $f;' existsNot disputing that there is an error in debhelper, but the error is not missing quotes in that if statement.
For what it is worth, debhelper can run dh_auto_build in its own build when the source directory contains a space. A few of tests fail because they are not space-safe in dh_auto_test (for some reason @INC gets corrupted and I am not sure how).
[...] 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. [...]
Best regards, Niels
