Hello debian-user, I'm running Debian unstable and I would like to revert one package upgrade that I did earlier this week.
I upgraded to version 0.6.1-5 of mozilla-firebird. After some testing and attempts to do basic things with bookmarks, I've found it much too buggy (the bugs are reported; I'm not ignoring them). Ideally, I would like to go back to version 0.6.1-4. Is there somewhere where I could find the i386 .deb file for version 0.6.1-4? I tried looking in the pool at http://http.us.debian.org. I did not find a .deb for 0.6.1-4. However, I found the .diff.gz and the .dsc file for 0.6.1-4 which I thought was enough to recreate the source for that version. But despite my best efforts, the build from source failed. The exact steps I followed: 1. downloaded these files (from http://http.us.debian.org/pool/m/...) mozilla-firebird_0.6.1-4.diff.gz mozilla-firebird_0.6.1-4.dsc mozilla-firebird_0.6.1.orig.tar.gz 2. got the build depencies As root, I did/saw: # apt-get build-dep mozilla-firebird The following NEW packages will be installed: libatk1.0-dev libglib2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev libidl-dev liblinc-dev liblinc1 liborbit2 liborbit2-dev libpango1.0-dev libpopt-dev sharutils 0 upgraded, 11 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. ... The 1 not upgraded is because I have libruby on hold (unrelated). I think this was using the Build-Depends from 0.6.1-5 (since that is the version shown by "apt-cache showsrc mozilla-firebird"). To double check, I looked at the 0.6.1-4.dsc file and it had the same Build-Depends, so that shouldn't be the issue. 3. extracted the source package In the directory with the three files (src package), I did/saw this: $ dpkg-source x mozilla-firebird_0.6.1-4.dsc dpkg-source: extracting mozilla-firebird in mozilla-firebird-0.6.1 4. tried to build (from mozilla-firebird-0.6.1 directory) $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b >../make.log 2>&1 It was long and it ended with errors. I can send make.log if it is interesting, but the first few lines said this: dpkg-buildpackage: source package is mozilla-firebird dpkg-buildpackage: source version is 0.6.1-4 dpkg-buildpackage: source maintainer is Eric Dorland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture is i386 fakeroot debian/rules clean ... The errors at the end said this: /usr/bin/make -C config export make[2]: Entering directory `/space/mozilla-firebird-0.6.1/config' nsinstall.c gcc -o host_nsinstall.o -c -DXP_UNIX -pipe MOZ_OPTIMIZE_LDFLAGS = -I../dist/include -I../dist/include -I/space/mozilla-firebird-0.6.1/dist/include/nspr -I/usr/include -I/usr/include -I/usr/include -I/space/mozilla-firebird-0.6.1/dist/include/nspr nsinstall.c gcc: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations make[2]: *** [host_nsinstall.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/space/mozilla-firebird-0.6.1/config' make[1]: *** [default] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/space/mozilla-firebird-0.6.1' make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2 The MOZ_OPTIMIZE_LDFLAGS shouldn't be there, and I tracked it down to config/autoconf.mk having these line (with a bogus slash): MOZ_OPTIMIZE_FLAGS = -pipe\ MOZ_OPTIMIZE_LDFLAGS = The slash puts the "MOZ_OPTIMIZE_LDFLAGS =" garbage on the command line. I don't think I've done anything wrong, but I could be mistaken. So to recap my questions: 1) Is there a secret place with the 0.6.1-4 i386 .deb? 2) Why is this build from source not working (have I done something wrong)?
