[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#964361: wsclean: FTBFS in sid schroot with 'debian/rules binary'

[McIntyre, Vincent (CASS, Marsfield)]

Package: wsclean
Version: 2.9-2
Severity: minor

I was trying to build this version on buster and got build failures.
I tried in a sid schroot and got the same failure, so reporting.

I was building with 'debian/rules binary'.
Also tried 'debian/rules build; debian/rules binary', as per [1].
Building with 'dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b' does work, however.
If this is expected behaviour, please just close the bug.

Everything is fine up until the dh_install stage, which fails like this:

make[2]: Entering directory '/var/tmp/wsclean/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu'
make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'preinstall'.
make[2]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/wsclean/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu'

dh_install: missing files, aborting
make: *** [debian/rules:10: binary] Error 25

I noticed that libwsclean.a ends up in
  debian/tmp/usr/lib/libwsclean.a
rather than in
  debian/tmp/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwsclean.a
which may be significant.
There are no files in debian/tmp/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
and that directory does not exist.

Kind regards
Vince
