| al-maisan | hello there, a package of mine fails to install due to a failure in the postinst script -- how can I see what these errors are (so I can fix them)? | 10:27 |
| jtaylor | you can put a set -x into the script to see what it executes | 10:30 |
| al-maisan | on the shebang line? | 10:30 |
| jtaylor | after it | 10:31 |
| al-maisan | like "#!/bin/sh -x" ? | 10:31 |
| al-maisan | ah, "set -x" | 10:31 |
| al-maisan | ok | 10:31 |
| al-maisan | sorry | 10:31 |
| al-maisan | jtaylor: thanks for the advice .. will try that. | 10:32 |
| Rhonda | You can even run it manually. | 10:51 |
| Rhonda | Like, sh -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/$package.postinst | 10:51 |
| Rhonda | … and configure as argument. | 10:51 |
| * al-maisan tries that | 10:51 | |
| al-maisan | hmm .. I see where it's failing now, thanks jtaylor and Rhonda ! | 10:53 |
| Rhonda | de nada :) | 10:53 |

| blueyed | What makes Pillow/PIL's setup.py pickup /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libz.so.1 when using Ubuntu's python, but miss it when using a self-compiled python? | 12:43 |
| blueyed | I have seen that Python's setup.py uses dpkg-architecture, but could not find something similar in distutils. | 12:43 |
| al-maisan | hmm .. what user is used to run a debian/postinst script? I thought it was root..? | 14:08 |
| ogra_ | it is | 14:09 |
| al-maisan | I have statements starting with "sudo -u postgres psql .." and when I install the package I am getting prompted with "[sudo] password for postgres:" | 14:09 |
| ogra_ | you want su | 14:10 |
| ogra_ | not sudo | 14:10 |
| al-maisan | aaaaah | 14:10 |
| al-maisan | ok | 14:10 |

| jtaylor | I'm wondering if bug 842985 needs an ffe, its technically a new feature, but a feature which worked in natty (= regression) | 18:15 |

| c_korn | how can I tell dh_install (via the .install file) to install a directory with a space in it? | 18:34 |
| c_korn | lib/mmc\ Libs usr/lib/mmediac <-- this does not work | 18:35 |
| cjwatson | c_korn: You can't. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=198507 | 18:38 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 198507 in debhelper "dh_install: fails if filenames have an embedded space" [Normal,Open] | 18:38 |
| cjwatson | Well, there is a workaround in there. But personally I would just do such horrible things by hand in debian/rules. | 18:39 |
| c_korn | hm, ok. thanks. | 18:40 |
| === transitlogger is now known as apachelogger | ||
| c_korn | hm, dh_makeshlibs and dh_shlibdeps also fails :/ | 18:44 |

| cypher2__ | anyone? | 19:11 |
| cypher2__ | hello? | 19:12 |
| cypher2__ | help? | 19:13 |
| cjwatson | I think you should give more detail including a pastebinned transcript of what you're trying to do and what the output is, and then somebody will probably look at it | 19:14 |
| cjwatson | (that works better than waiting for somebody to volunteer first) | 19:14 |
| jtaylor | does using dh-autoreconf to fix a build failure need a FFe? | 19:23 |
| pabelanger | Afternoon, I was looking for help triaging a backport request: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lucid-backports/+bug/638213 | 20:02 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 638213 in lucid-backports "Please backport puppet 2.6.1-0ubuntu2 from maverick" [Undecided,In progress] | 20:02 |
| pabelanger | I'm told this is the place | 20:02 |
| micahg | pabelanger: looks, good, but I don't have time to comment ATM, please reset to confirmed per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#How_to_Help | 20:09 |
| Laney | pabelanger: we need confirmation that the no-change backport builds, installs and runs | 20:10 |
| Laney | aha, says that | 20:10 |
| Laney | pabelanger: thanks, approved | 20:11 |
| jtaylor | does using dh-autoreconf to fix a build failure need a FFe? | 20:12 |
| pabelanger | micahg: Laney: Great, thanks for looking | 20:12 |
| jtaylor | allows patching configure.in instead of configure which is ackward | 20:12 |
| Laney | jtaylor: wouldn't think so, providing the build system is well behaved | 20:13 |
| Laney | make sure the patch is forwarded etc | 20:13 |
| jtaylor | already "applied upstream" (= upstream removed autotools and use scons) | 20:14 |
| Laney | fun | 20:14 |
| jtaylor | but we can't use that for oneiric, new features, still waiting in mentors for debian upload, so I fixed the old build | 20:15 |
| jtaylor | slurm is the package | 20:15 |
| tumbleweed | jtaylor: re pacpl, I'd say go ahead, it sounds regressiony | 20:40 |
| tumbleweed | and no, I wouldn't say dh_autoreconf is particularyl dangerous | 20:40 |
| * tumbleweed was reviewing all dh_python2 transitions before we asked for FFes for them, and finding lots of issues (should have posted those to ubuntu-devel...) | 20:40 | |
| ajmitch | tumbleweed: regressions like FTBFS because it tried to install into /usr/local/? :) | 20:42 |
| tumbleweed | ajmitch: the FTBFS ones were obvious | 20:44 |
| tumbleweed | more common was missing byte-compilation, or byte-compiling the wrong things | 20:44 |
| ajmitch | I still feel like I need someone to check over what I've done to convert them, even on the simple ones | 20:44 |
| ajmitch | there's still much magic that goes on behind the scenes | 20:45 |
| spartan-11510 | Hi, i'm a begginer and i need some help | 20:50 |
| spartan-11510 | I've found a bug and i try to patch the package, but an include is make and the file doesn't exist | 20:50 |
| spartan-11510 | The gettext.h doesn't exist | 20:51 |
| spartan-11510 | /* Internationalization. */ | 20:51 |
| spartan-11510 | #include "gettext.h" | 20:52 |
| spartan-11510 | #define _(str) gettext (str) | 20:52 |
| spartan-11510 | #define N_(str) gettext_noop (str) | 20:52 |
| spartan-11510 | it's the hello-2.6 package | 20:56 |
| jtaylor | spartan-11510: the file is in gnulib/lib in that package, you ahve to pass that to the compiler with the -I flag | 21:01 |
| jtaylor | spartan-11510: what exactly are you trying to do? the makefile should do that for you in that package | 21:02 |
| spartan-11510 | When you use "hello -h" he said we can use -m option but if you try to use ii, it doesn't work | 21:03 |
| jtaylor | spartan-11510: it doesn't offer the -m option for me | 21:05 |
| spartan-11510 | maybe it's translation, i'm french | 21:06 |
| spartan-11510 | it proposed me for read e-mail... | 21:06 |
| jtaylor | spartan-11510: I don't understand, hello is just an example application, it only prints out hello world not more | 21:11 |
| spartan-11510 | I know, but if you look in the translation file hello-2.6/po/fr.po you can see that | 21:12 |

| sladen | spartan-11510: -> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ | 21:14 |
| jtaylor | interesting, that is indeed a bug and its in a lot more translations too | 21:14 |
| spartan-11510 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/683865/ | 21:15 |
| spartan-11510 | I'm a begginer and i try to progress in packaging and help the community | 21:15 |
| spartan-11510 | And i'm sorry for multi-line text | 21:16 |
| spartan-11510 | What i can do just modify the translation? | 21:17 |
| jtaylor | spartan-11510: first you should check if it has been fixed or reported upstream, if not do so | 21:19 |
| spartan-11510 | on launchpad? because i think it's a debian package not an ubuntu | 21:20 |
| jtaylor | upstream in this case is gnu | 21:20 |
| jtaylor | upstream= the people who wrote the software | 21:21 |
| jtaylor | spartan-11510: to create a patch simply fix the po files and do debuild -us -uc -S, this will create a patch in debian/patches/debian-changes-2.7-1 | 21:21 |
| jtaylor | you can submit this patch to upstream or open a bug in debian and attach it there | 21:22 |
| spartan-11510 | ok thank's | 21:22 |
| jtaylor | but note, this is not a very important application, its possible nobody will care | 21:23 |
| spartan-11510 | debuild -us -uc -S doesn't work | 21:27 |
| jtaylor | please pastebin the output: debuild -us -uc -S | pastebinit | 21:28 |
| spartan-11510 | jtaylor: result http://paste.ubuntu.com/683876/ | 21:32 |
| jtaylor | spartan-11510: you still have a backup/swap file in the build tree from your editor, remove them before building | 21:33 |
| spartan-11510 | all *~ file | 21:34 |
| jtaylor | what debuild will do is take your extracted tree and compare it to the original unmodified source tarball and make a patch from it, it cannot handle binary files that way | 21:34 |
| jtaylor | (unless you explicitly tell it too, but thats rarely needed) | 21:34 |
| spartan-11510 | i haven't *~ file | 21:38 |
| jtaylor | hello-2.6/src/.system.h.kate-swp | 21:40 |
| jtaylor | spartan-11510: I just quckly check, it was already reported but ignored https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hello/2010-12/msg00003.html | 21:42 |
| jtaylor | you could reply to that message telling them that the problem are the translations | 21:42 |
| spartan-11510 | jtaylor: ok, and i could send the patch | 21:43 |
| jtaylor | yes | 21:43 |
| spartan-11510 | jtaylor: thank you for your help now i know how to debug a simple package | 21:48 |
| jtaylor | spartan-11510: when this worked you can now test the patch by building the package completely | 21:49 |
| jtaylor | spartan-11510: debuild -us -uc (without -S), this will create a .deb in the parent folder which you can install | 21:49 |
| jtaylor | for details on the flags see man dpkg-buildpackage | 21:50 |
| spartan-11510 | jtaylor: thank you very much for everithing but i build it and i make dpkg --install hello_2.6-1_amd64.deb | 21:57 |
| spartan-11510 | and i've always the same package | 21:57 |
| spartan-11510 | always same error | 21:59 |
| spartan-11510 | i've make | 22:00 |
| spartan-11510 | dpkg-buildpackage | 22:00 |
| spartan-11510 | dpkg --install hello_2.6-1_amd64.deb | 22:00 |
| jtaylor | you mean the --mail is still there? | 22:03 |
| spartan-11510 | yes | 22:05 |
| jtaylor | unfortunatly I'm unfamiliar with translations, maybe you have to edit a different file or regenrate something | 22:08 |
