[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#404538: not binNMU safe, etc

[Joey Hess]

Package: xen-3.0
Version: 3.0.3-0-2
Severity: serious

This source package is not binNMU safe, which I understand is an RC bug.

If the changelog, or any of several other files are changed, the build
process wants to rebuild debian/control, and tries to use files from
linux-support-2.6.18-1 to do it. This fails, since that package is a)
not a build dependency b) not in the archive under that name anymore and 
c) even if it succeeds building the control, it exits nonzero:

  if [ -f debian/control ] && [ -f debian/control.md5sum ] && [ -f debian/rules.ge
  n ]; then \
                  if md5sum debian/changelog debian/templates/control.hypervisor.i
  n debian/templates/control.main.in debian/templates/control.source.in debian/tem
  plates/control.utils.in debian/arch/defines debian/arch/amd64/defines debian/arc
  h/i386/defines | diff - debian/control.md5sum > /dev/null; then true; else \
                          /usr/bin/make -f debian/rules debian/control-real; \
                  fi \
          else \
                  /usr/bin/make -f debian/rules debian/control-real; \
          fi
  make[1]: Entering directory `/home/joey/tmp/xen-3.0-3.0.3-0'

  This target is made to fail intentionally, to make sure
  that it is NEVER run during the automated build. Please
  ignore the following error, the debian/control file has
  been generated SUCCESSFULLY.
  
  exit 1
