[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#590594: dbus: FTBFS with "dh_link: link destination debian/dbus-1-dbg/usr/share/doc/dbus-1-dbg is a directory" if dh-buildinfo is installed

Tue Jul 27 17:01:01 UTC 2010

Package: dbus
Version: 1.2.24-2
Severity: serious

For testing the fix for http://bugs.debian.org/589662, I built the
patched version on my own kfreebsd-i386 box where it FTBFS with the
following error message:

dh_link -pdbus-1-dbg  
dh_link: link destination debian/dbus-1-dbg/usr/share/doc/dbus-1-dbg is a directory
make: *** [binary-install/dbus-1-dbg] Error 255
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2

Then I built it in io's sid chroot and it built fine.

Since the fix worked, I installed the patched version on io (to get the
hal update working) and planned to do so on asdfasdf.

But in asdfasdf's sid chroot, it FTBFS as on my box. Since in comparison
to my box, there are no experimental packages installed in the sid
chroot of asdfasdf, there seems to be another cause, maybe a missing
Build-Conflicts or so.

The directory mentinoned in the error message looks like this:

$ ls -alF debian/dbus-1-dbg/usr/share/doc/dbus-1-dbg
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 abe abe  512 Jul 27 18:19 ./
drwxr-xr-x 3 abe abe  512 Jul 27 18:19 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 abe abe 2321 Jul 27 18:19 buildinfo.gz
$ 

I then tried to build an unpatched 1.2.24-2 which FTBFS, too while it
doesn't fail inside io's sid chroot. Here is the diff ("<" = io's sid
chroot, ">" = my box) between those two build logs:

In asdfasdf's sid chroot, dh-buildinfo is installed, too. So it
basically FTBFS if dh-buildinfo is installed and builds fine if not.

Adding a Build-Conflicts on dh-buildinfo should fix this FTBFS, but
probably doesn't fix the real cause. Feel free to reassign this bug, if
you think the bug is located outside this package in one of the build
helpers (cdbs, debhelper, dh-buildinfo, etc.)
