[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#804134: generated ChangeLog files make packages not multi-arch co-installible (and also not reproducible)

[Roderich Schupp]

Source: avahi
Version: 0.6.32~rc+dfsg-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

I tried to install some self-built amd64 packages from avahi 0.6.32~rc+dfsg-1
along the corresponding i386 patches from the archives. This failed because
some changelog.gz files were different in the amd64 and i386 packages, e.g.
/usr/share/doc/libavahi-client3/changelog.gz:

2015-11-04  gettextize  <bug-gnu-gettext at gnu.org>

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add config.rpath.
        * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add po/Makefile.in.

This comes from the top level ChangeLog in the source which is created (or
amended) by autogen.sh (by invoking gettextize from gettext 0.19.6-1) during
the build, hence the date above is the build date.

Suggested fix: invoke gettextize with the --no-changelog option; patch
attached.


Cheers, Roderich
