Package: src:ratpoison Version: 1.4.8-2 Severity: serious Tags: ftbfs Dear maintainer:
I tried to build this package in buster but it failed: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [...] debian/rules build-arch dh_testdir autoreconf -i aclocal: installing 'm4/pkg.m4' from '/usr/share/aclocal/pkg.m4' configure.ac:114: installing 'build-aux/compile' configure.ac:24: installing 'build-aux/install-sh' configure.ac:24: installing 'build-aux/missing' doc/Makefile.am:20: installing 'build-aux/mdate-sh' doc/Makefile.am:20: installing 'build-aux/texinfo.tex' src/Makefile.am: installing 'build-aux/depcomp' touch autoreconf-stamp dh_testdir ./configure --build x86_64-linux-gnu \ --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \ [... snipped ...] make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>' Making install in src make[2]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/src' make[3]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/src' /bin/mkdir -p '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/ratpoison/usr/bin' /usr/bin/install -c ratpoison '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/ratpoison/usr/bin' make[3]: Nothing to be done for 'install-data-am'. make[3]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/src' make[2]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/src' Making install in doc make[2]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/doc' restore=: && backupdir=".am$$" && \ am__cwd=`pwd` && CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && \ rm -rf $backupdir && mkdir $backupdir && \ if (/bin/bash /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/build-aux/missing makeinfo --version) >/dev/null 2>&1; then \ for f in ratpoison.info ratpoison.info-[0-9] ratpoison.info-[0-9][0-9] ratpoison.i[0-9] ratpoison.i[0-9][0-9]; do \ if test -f $f; then mv $f $backupdir; restore=mv; else :; fi; \ done; \ else :; fi && \ cd "$am__cwd"; \ if /bin/bash /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/build-aux/missing makeinfo -I . \ -o ratpoison.info ratpoison.texi; \ then \ rc=0; \ CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd .; \ else \ rc=$?; \ CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && \ $restore $backupdir/* `echo "./ratpoison.info" | sed 's|[^/]*$||'`; \ fi; \ rm -rf $backupdir; exit $rc /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/build-aux/missing: line 81: makeinfo: command not found WARNING: 'makeinfo' is missing on your system. You should only need it if you modified a '.texi' file, or any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual. You might want to install the Texinfo package: <https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/> The spurious makeinfo call might also be the consequence of using a buggy 'make' (AIX, DU, IRIX), in which case you might want to install GNU make: <https://www.gnu.org/software/make/> make[2]: *** [Makefile:358: ratpoison.info] Error 127 make[2]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/doc' make[1]: *** [Makefile:413: install-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>' make: *** [debian/rules:105: binary-arch] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch subprocess returned exit status 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The build was made with "dpkg-buildpackage -B" in my autobuilder. Most probably, it also fails here in reproducible builds: https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/ratpoison.html where you can get a full build log if you need it. If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use reassign and affects, so that this is still visible in the BTS web page for this package. Thanks.
