[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#832391: src:consensuscore2: python module packages come out empty on some architectures

[Afif Elghraoui]

Package: src:consensuscore2
Version: 0.12.0-1
Severity: serious

The package build is apparently unpredictable. On the various package pages
(like https://packages.debian.org/sid/python3-consensuscore2), the built
binary packages are empty. For the example below, those that are 2.6 kB only
contain package metadata, not any of the contents they're supposed to have:


Download python-consensuscore2
Architecture 	Package Size 	Installed Size 	Files
amd64 	2.6 kB	11.0 kB 	[list of files]
i386 	353.6 kB	1,349.0 kB 	[list of files]
kfreebsd-amd64 	2.6 kB	11.0 kB 	[list of files]
kfreebsd-i386 	2.6 kB	11.0 kB 	[list of files] 

Download python3-consensuscore2
Architecture 	Package Size 	Installed Size 	Files
amd64 	346.3 kB	1,435.0 kB 	[list of files]
i386 	353.6 kB	1,349.0 kB 	[list of files]
kfreebsd-amd64 	2.6 kB	11.0 kB 	[list of files]
kfreebsd-i386 	2.6 kB	11.0 kB 	[list of files]


None of the kfreebsd builds came out right, i386 worked for both, and am64
only worked with the python3 package. There was a similar situation in
the 0.12 version of the package currently in testing. I tested amd64
and i386 in sbuild before uploading the current version of the package
and it built fine in both cases for me, so I thought this problem would
not be coming up again. I'm not sure what's going on, so I'm filing this
bug to prevent the package from being released in this condition.
