Package: cdbs Version: 0.4.48 Severity: important Hi,
For some reason, debhelper.mk has a dh_clean call in common-install-prehook::. This seems to be completely spurious and I do not understand the need for such a call. What I did see is that it causes gtk2-engines to be built twice; the sequence of events is as follow: dpkg-buildpackage calls debian/rules build build depends on a target which calls ./configure from debian/tmp/x11 if config.status is missing ./configure creates config.status build depends on a target which calls make from debian/tmp/x11 make builds the binaries dpkg-buildpackage calls debian/rules binary binary depends on common-install-prehook-impl which calls dh_clean dh_clean removes debian/tmp/x11 binary depends on a target which calls ./configure from debian/tmp/x11 if config.status is missing ./configure creates config.status again I think you can reproduce this with: DEB_BUILDDIR := debian/tmp/build BTW, gtk2-engines is currently built in two flavors, so 4 ./configure + make, but I don't think this is connected. Since this dh_clean is as old as the first debhelper.mk that CVS knows about, I think it might simply be superfluous. :) Bye, -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) cdbs depends on no packages.
