Public bug reported: Binary package hint: wine
The Ubuntu built wine packages are approximately 3 times the size of the winehq.org packages: wine_0.9.53-0ubuntu1_i386.deb (33.8 MiB) vs 11MiB wine_0.9.53~winehq0~ubuntu~7.10-1_i386.deb This seems to be due to the failure to strip the debug symbols from the binaries, as attested to by the changelog entry: wine (0.9.41-0ubuntu2) gutsy; urgency=low * debian/rules: ignore dh_strip errors to fix FTBFS in buildds and the relevant build log output (from «http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11310862/buildlog_ubuntu-hardy-i386.wine_0.9.53-0ubuntu1_FULLYBUILT.txt.gz»: # Fix FTBFS in buildds... dh_strip dh_strip debug symbol extraction: all non-arch-all packages for this build platform i386: wine wine-dev dh_strip debug symbol extraction: packages to act on: wine wine-dev dh_strip debug symbol extraction: ignored packages: BFD: /build/buildd/wine-0.9.53/debian/wine-dbgsym/usr/lib/debug/./usr/bin/wine-kthread: section `.note.ABI-tag' can't be allocated in segment 2 objcopy: /build/buildd/wine-0.9.53/debian/wine-dbgsym/usr/lib/debug/./usr/bin/wine-kthread: Bad value BFD: /build/buildd/wine-0.9.53/debian/wine-dbgsym/usr/lib/debug/./usr/bin/wine-kthread: section `.note.ABI-tag' can't be allocated in segment 2 objcopy: /build/buildd/wine-0.9.53/debian/wine-dbgsym/usr/lib/debug/./usr/bin/wine-kthread: Bad value objcopy --only-keep-debug failed on /build/buildd/wine-0.9.53/debian/wine/usr/bin/wine-kthread make: [binary-arch] Error 1 (ignored) This may well be a bug in pkg-create-dbgsym. Building the Ubuntu source package in an environment without pkg-create-dbgsym results in a binary package of comparable size to the winehq packages. ** Affects: wine (Ubuntu) Importance: Low Status: Confirmed ** Changed in: wine (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low Status: New => Confirmed -- Wine packages overly large https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185513 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
