$ debdiff beast_0.7.1-5.1_i386.deb beast_0.7.1-5.2_i386.deb | head -n 11 [The following lists of changes regard files as different if they have different names, permissions or owners.]Files in second .deb but not in first ------------------------------------- -rw-r--r-- root/root /usr/share/mime/generic-icons -rw-r--r-- root/root /usr/share/mime/globs2 -rw-r--r-- root/root /usr/share/mime/icons -rw-r--r-- root/root /usr/share/mime/treemagic -rw-r--r-- root/root /usr/share/mime/typesAh, this one is _weird_. I was going to ask why this happened, given that I routinely pipe my NMUs through debdiff before uploading, and here is the answer: $ debdiff beast_0.7.1-5.1+b1_amd64.deb beast_0.7.1-5.2_amd64.deb File lists identical (after any substitutions) i.e., on amd64 there is no such file difference.
My fault, I forgot about the +b1 version! If fact this bug was introduced earlier, in the last binNMU:
$ debdiff beast_0.7.1-5.1_i386.deb beast_0.7.1-5.1+b1_i386.deb | head -n11 [The following lists of changes regard files as different if they have different names, permissions or owners.] Files in second .deb but not in first ------------------------------------- -rw-r--r-- root/root /usr/share/mime/generic-icons -rw-r--r-- root/root /usr/share/mime/globs2 -rw-r--r-- root/root /usr/share/mime/icons -rw-r--r-- root/root /usr/share/mime/treemagic -rw-r--r-- root/root /usr/share/mime/types Sorry for the noise!
(Also, it would be nice to investigate why the files were not there in the last i386 package, probably they got introduced by some change in the toolchain and slipped in upon binNMUs?)
update-mime-database used to generate only the files that were being removed in debian/rules; now it generates a few more.
