[debhelper-devel] Bug#863447: dh_install -X is ignored for --list/fail-missing

[Michael Biebl]

Package: debhelper
Version: 10.4
Severity: normal

Hi,

I just tried debhelper 10.4 from experimental which implements
dh_install --list/fail-missing via the new dh_missing tool.

I don't use dh_missing directly yet, but rely on the backwards compat
support. My debian/rules contains

override_dh_install:
	dh_install -X.la --list-missing

Apparently the -X.la is ignored though and dh_missing still complains
about the libtool .la files:


   debian/rules override_dh_install
make[1]: Verzeichnis „/home/michael/debian/build-area/network-manager-1.8.0“ wird betreten
dh_install -X.la --list-missing
dh_install: Please use dh_missing --list-missing/--fail-missing instead
dh_install: This feature will be removed in compat 11.

        The following debhelper tools have reported what they installed (with files per package)
         * dh_install: gir1.2-networkmanager-1.0 (2), gir1.2-nm-1.0 (1), libnm-dev (7), libnm-glib-dev (36), libnm-glib-vpn-dev (6), libnm-glib-vpn1 (2), libnm-glib4 (2), libnm-util-dev (36), libnm-util2 (2), libnm0 (2), network-manager (36), network-manager-config-connectivity-debian (1), network-manager-dev (7)
        If the missing files are installed by another tool, please file a bug against it.
        Be sure to test with dpkg-buildpackage -A/-B as the results may vary when only a subset is built
        For a short-term work-around: Add the files to debian/not-installed


I also note, that usr/share/doc/NetworkManager/examples/server.conf is
actually installed via debian/network-manager.examples, which contains:
debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/NetworkManager/examples/server.conf

I assume dh_installexamples is simply not updated yet to support the new
dh_missing functionality?

Regards,
Michael
