This is a latent bug, exposed when building for target releases that
have dpkg-source < v1.14.7.
The problem is that when using pdebuilder and passing --debbuildopts to
both 'sides' (host and target), the target pbuilder dpkg-source
incorrectly inherits the host --debbuildopts.
For example:
HOST_DEB_OPTIONS="--debbuildopts -i -I"
PBUILDER_DEB_OPTIONS="--debbuildopts -Idebian/dpkg-source.excludes"
pdebuild --logfile $LOGNAME ${HOST_DEB_OPTIONS} -- ${PBUILDER_DEB_OPTIONS}
results in the inner dpkg-source seeing:
dpkg-source -i -I -Idebian/dpkg-source.excludes -b kvm-83+dfsg
Which in Hardy and later isn't a problem (since -I is acceptable to
dpkg-source >= v1.14.7). However, if working on back-porting a package
to Gutsy or Feisty or Edgy the versions of dpkg-source in those releases
do not understand the -I option without a file specification
(-I<exclusion.list>).
This will cause the target pbuild to fail since the source can't be
extracted.
This wouldn't have come to light if it wasn't for my desire to back-port
some packages for use on long-lived servers that are running stable
older releases. In these cases my build_test script generates two
different sets of --debbuildopts for the host (more recent) and target
(older) dpkg-source.
The builds were failing and as can be seen in the example above it is
because the host's --debbuildopts are passing to the target.
