Package: g++-mingw-w64,gfortran-mingw-w64,gobjc-mingw-w64,gobjc++-mingw-w64 Version: 5.1.1-9+16~exp1 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts
Hi, a test with piuparts revealed that your package misses the copyright file after an upgrade, which is a violation of Policy 12.5: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s-copyrightfile After the upgrade /usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE/ is just an empty directory. This was observed on the following upgrade paths: sid -> experimental in each of the 4 packages g++-mingw-w64 gfortran-mingw-w64 gobjc-mingw-w64 gobjc++-mingw-w64 >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 1m47.0s ERROR: WARN: Inadequate results from running adequate! g++-mingw-w64: missing-copyright-file /usr/share/doc/g++-mingw-w64/copyright MISSING COPYRIGHT FILE: /usr/share/doc/g++-mingw-w64/copyright # ls -lad /usr/share/doc/g++-mingw-w64 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 40 Sep 20 09:34 /usr/share/doc/g++-mingw-w64 # ls -la /usr/share/doc/g++-mingw-w64/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 40 Sep 20 09:34 . drwxr-xr-x 115 root root 2500 Sep 20 09:34 .. Additional info may be available here: https://wiki.debian.org/MissingCopyrightFile Note that dpkg intentionally does not replace directories with symlinks and vice versa, you need the maintainer scripts to do this. See in particular the end of point 4 in https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-unpackphase It is recommended to use the dpkg-maintscript-helper commands 'dir_to_symlink' and 'symlink_to_dir' (available since dpkg 1.17.14) to perform the conversion, ideally using d/$PACKAGE.mainstscript. Do not forget to add 'Pre-Depends: ${misc:Pre-Depends}' in d/control. See dpkg-maintscript-helper(1) and dh_installdeb(1) for details. cheers, Andreas
