Package: debhelper Version: 6.0.3 Severity: minor hi
the usual invocation of dh_installinit never fails, if it finds package.init, it installs it, otherwise it simply exists. Instead I think that the form 'dh_installinit --name foobar' , if it does not find package.foobar.init, should fail (so that debian/rules dies). The rationale is that, if the DD has set such a command in debian/rules , it means that the script should exist; and if the script does not exists, it is most likely a bug (for example, a typo such as 'dh_installinit --name fobar'), so a failure should trigger. a. ps: yes, the above happened to me -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages debhelper depends on: ii binutils 2.18.1~cvs20080103-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii dpkg-dev 1.14.16.2 package building tools for Debian ii file 4.23-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii html2text 1.3.2a-3 An advanced HTML to text converter ii perl 5.8.8-12 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii po-debconf 1.0.11 manage translated Debconf template debhelper recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- Andrea Mennucc "E' un mondo difficile.
