[pkg-dhcp-devel] Bug#732401: isc-dhcp: FTBFS: File series fully applied, ends at patch dhclient-exit-hook.patch

[Axel Beckert]

Source: isc-dhcp
Version: 4.2.4-7
Severity: serious
Tags: sid jessie patch

While trying to backport the current version of isc-dhcp to Wheezy, I
noticed that I get the the following build failure on Unstable, too:

The extracted bind.tar.gz seems to have the quilt patches already
applied (or "quilt push -a" is called twice) and quilt seems to exit
with return code 2 if the series is already applied. Hence the package
build stops in that case.

There were three quilt uploads since 27th of May, including a new
upstream release just a few days ago. But neither the upstream nor the
Debian changelog reveals anything fitting to these symptoms. It would
also not explain why I ran into this issues on Wheezy first.

I've fixed it with the following patch against debian/rules so far:

diff --git a/debian/rules b/debian/rules

        touch $@

With this patch, isc-dhcp builds again on Sid. It also passes that point
on Wheezy, but FTBFS later on. But for now, that's only my problem. ;-)
