[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#611667: openssl: clean-after-build fails due to wrong Makefile rule

[Steve Langasek]

Package: openssl
Version: 0.9.8o-4
Severity: important

Hi guys,

As part of an effort to make the Ubuntu base system cross-compilable, we've
noticed that ./debian/rules clean fails in the openssl package after a
complete build because the clean rules tries to remove directories with 'rm
-f', which obviously fails.  This needs to be an 'rm -rf' instead.

Attached is a patch for one possible way to implement this fix.  You could
instead fix this in debian/patches of course, but given that the rule only
affects a file that will be immediately be removed, fixing it in
debian/rules also seems adequate to me.

The changelog entry for this change in Ubuntu is:

  * Fix Makefile to properly clean up libs/ dirs in clean target

You may wish to apply this fix in Debian as well.  I've marked this bug as
'important' because this is technically a violation of Policy 4.9.

Thanks,
