Package: d-shlibs
Version: 0.47
Hi Jonas,
Today when I tried to build ghostscript, I got a pile of messages:
| dh_installmime -plibgs9
| d-shlibmove --commit \
| --devunversioned --ignorelibdep \
| --movedev "debian/tmp/usr/include/*" usr/include/ \
| debian/tmp/usr/lib/libgs.so
| Library package automatic movement utility
| devlibs error: There is no package matching [comerr-dev] and noone provide
| devlibs error: There is no package matching [libc6-dev] and noone provides
| devlibs error: There is no package matching [libcups2-dev] and noone provi
[etc]
and a build failure. Looking at the d-devlibdeps source, I see
| case $(echo $(apt-cache --no-generate show $1 2> /dev/null| wc -l ) ) in
| 0)
| case $(echo $(apt-cache --no-generate showpkg $1 2> /dev/null |
awk ' /^Reverse Provides: $/,/^$/ {if ($0 !~ /:/) {print $0}}' | wc -l) ) in
and it dawns on me: this tool requires an up-to-date APT cache. An
"apt-get update" would have worked around the trouble.
Maybe validate_package could parse Build-Depends lines in addition to
the Packages lines it already reads from debian/control, plus
/usr/share/doc/build-essential/list, and assume at least those are
real? That way, at least when the build-depends list is complete
there would be no need to fall back to looking at the APT cache.
Other thoughts welcome, too.
