Bug#825816: slepc: FTBFS when built with dpkg-buildpackage -A (dh_install: missing files, aborting)

[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:slepc
Version: 3.6.3.dfsg1-4
User: sanvila at debian.org
Usertags: binary-indep
Severity: important

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(i.e. only architecture-independent packages), and it failed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The previous version (3.6.3.dfsg1-3) worked ok, so this is surely the result
of the changes in debian/rules made in 3.6.3.dfsg1-4.

In cases like this (changes to debian/rules) it is always a good idea to
check that "dpkg-buildpackage -A" and "dpkg-buildpackage -B" still work.

Thanks.
