Bug#1009796: apt: reproducible-builds: BuildId differences triggered by RPATH

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Source: apt
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: buildpath
X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bugs at lists.alioth.debian.org

The RPATH contains the build path resulting in different buildid:

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/apt.html

The attached patch to debian/rules passes
-DCMAKE_BUILD_RPATH_USE_ORIGIN=ON via a dh_auto_configure override,
which should use a relative path for RPATH.

Alternately, updating the packaging to debhelper compat level 14 should
fix this, although it is currently an experimental compat level.

Unfortunately, other issues prevent this package from being reproducible
(randomness in documentation), but this patch should at least reduce the
diff.


Thanks for maintaining apt!


live well,
