[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#349356: shadow: Builds login package on hurd-i386 again, with su manpages conflicting with coreutils

[Michael Banck]

Package: shadow
Version: 1:4.0.14-3
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Hi,

since the switch to CDBS, the login package is being built again, as
CDBS unconditionally calls dh_builddeb -pfoo etc:

dpkg-genchanges: arch-specific upload - not including arch-independent packages
dpkg-genchanges: binary-only upload - not including any source code

So even though the hurd-i386 specific parts are executed (-Nlogin),
-plogin is done later on.  AFAIK there is no way to tell CDBS to not
build one package, at least a of trying with internal variables etc. did
not help.  

As CDBS is currently not very actively maintained, I propose to go the
other possibility we discussed before:  Make su an alternative in
coordination with the coreutils package.

I am not sure how the localized manpages will be handled in this case,
AFAIK coreutils only has su.1.gz and no translations.

As an interim fix, could you apply the attached patch, so login and
coreutils can be installed together?


thanks,

Michael
