[debhelper-devel] Bug#886037: debhelper: dh_strip: do not try to strip ELF files in /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/

[Mattia Rizzolo]

Package: debhelper
Version: 11
Severity: important

Discovered in the process of bumping compat level from 10 to 11 of
src:libxml2 (based of version 2.9.4+dfsg1-5.2).

Given the set of packages:
    libxml2 libxml2-utils libxml2-dev libxml2-dbg libxml2-doc python-libxml2 python-libxml2-dbg python3-libxml2 python3-libxml2-dbg
This dh_strip calls:
    dh_strip -a --dbg-package=libxml2-dbg -Nlibxml2-utils -Npython-libxml2 -Npython-libxml2-dbg -Npython3-libxml2 -Npython3-libxml2-dbg

ends up running the following code, that wasn't being run on c10:
    chmod 0644 -- debian/libxml2-dbg/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/2f/b6e44e8b4e696dd4ed83c45706df481e084f08.debug
    strip --remove-section=.comment --remove-section=.note --strip-unneeded debian/libxml2-dbg/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/2f/b6e44e8b4e696dd4ed83c45706df481e084f08.debug
    objcopy --add-gnu-debuglink debian/libxml2-dbg/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/2f/b6e44e8b4e696dd4ed83c45706df481e084f08.debug debian/libxml2-dbg/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/2f/b6e44e8b4e696dd4ed83c45706df481e084f08.debug


Clearly it should try to process that file that it just created :)
