Dear maintainer:

During a rebuild of all packages in unstable, this package failed to build.

Below you will find the last part of the build log (probably the most
relevant part, but not necessarily). If required, the full build log
is available here:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/202602/

About the archive rebuild: The build was made on virtual machines from AWS,
using sbuild and a reduced chroot with only build-essential packages.

If you cannot reproduce the bug please contact me privately, as I
am willing to provide ssh access to a virtual machine where the bug is
fully reproducible.

If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use
reassign and add an affects on src:python-better-exceptions, so that this is still
visible in the BTS web page for this package.

Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for your report

The problem seems to be with this line. (the second sed)
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-better-exceptions/-/blob/master/test_all.sh?ref_type=heads#L26

The script couldn't change your build path. maybe a regex issue

I changed the source code in a new repo:
https://salsa.debian.org/amin_modaresi/test_python

please run it one time with

without_normalize.patch

and another time with

normalize.patch

Then send me /tmp/

normalize and

/tmp/without_normalize dirs. sent me tar of they

severity 1129141 important
thanks

Hi.

This is very strange because the bug happens in my autobuilding setup
but not if I try to reproduce it by hand.

Please allow me some time to see what's going on.
(I'm downgrading until then).

Thanks.

Hello.

This is still happening in the latest version uploaded a few days ago.

I offered a VM in the past to reproduce, but it should not be necessary
anymore because now we know the way to reproduce it: Please put this
in your $HOME/.config/sbuild/config.pl

$build_path = "";
$run_lintian = 0;
$chroot_mode = "schroot";
$schroot = "schroot";
1;

and then try building the package using sbuild.

I think the package is doing some assumptions about the build path
which do not necessarily have to happen.

Thanks.

control: severity -1 normal
