Package: debhelper Version: 5.0.49 Severity: normal Per the recent discussion on debian-devel (subject "Odd dh_strip failure with some packages") I think it would be better if dh_strip failed if strip failed. Currently, we have one x86 buildd that's building and uploading packages with unstripped shared libraries and the error:
dh_strip strip: unable to copy file 'debian/libwebauth-perl/usr/lib/perl5/auto/WebAuth/WebAuth.so' reason: Permission denied Our belief is that this may be a side effect of using an XFS file system. However, currently this means that packages are uploaded with unstripped binaries. I can't think of a reason why dh_strip would try to strip a file but it should be acceptable if strip failed, although you may be aware of other cases. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages debhelper depends on: ii binutils 2.17cvs20070426-8 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii coreutils 5.97-5.3 The GNU core utilities ii dpkg-dev 1.14.4 package building tools for Debian ii file 4.21-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii html2text 1.3.2a-3 An advanced HTML to text converter ii perl 5.8.8-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii po-debconf 1.0.8 manage translated Debconf template debhelper recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
