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/202610/

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:createrepo-c, so that this is still
visible in the BTS web page for this package.

Thanks.

Hi Santiago, Peter,

Thank you for the report. I have pushed a backport of the upstream fix
for this FTBFS to debian/master:

https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-rpm-team/createrepo-c/-/commit/cb8f87bccda2378b848b2ab91706e86b40c81a3a

The generated run_unittests.sh lacks a shebang. With libuv 1.53.0,
CTest cannot start it and reports an exec format error before Python
runs. Adding #!/bin/sh fixes the launcher. The upstream fix is:

https://github.com/rpm-software-management/createrepo_c/commit/6c68080d522d1254aa792f84c5f5220aa3a081dc

The updated 1.2.1-3 candidate passes normal and nocheck sbuilds on
unstable/amd64 with CMake 4.3.4-1 and libuv 1.53.0-1. The normal build
runs 127 C cases, 136 Python tests and repotest. Both autopkgtests,
repotest and the installed C consumer, pass. Lintian 2.142.0 on source
and binaries reports no errors or warnings.

The candidate remains UNRELEASED pending sponsor review and upload.
Its changelog includes Closes: #1151137. I am leaving this bug open
until the corrected package is accepted into the Debian archive.

Best regards,
Federico

Changes:
 createrepo-c (1.2.1-3) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   [ Peter Pentchev ]
   * Team upload.
   * Declare compliance with Policy 4.7.4 with no changes.
   * Switch back to debhelper-compat now that debhelper 14 is out.
   * Salsa CI:
     - drop the build-twice job, debrebuild does that now
     - run the `debputy reformat` test here, not as an autopkgtest
     - also test the nocheck build profile
   * Remove myself from the Uploaders list; thanks, Federico Molara, for
     taking over this package, too.
 .
   [ Federico Molara ]
   * Adopt the package within the RPM packaging team and add myself to
     Uploaders. Closes: #1143591
   * Build the upstream C test executables before running the test suite.
   * Fix the library directory in pkg-config metadata so C consumers link
     successfully.
   * Add an autopkgtest that compiles, links and runs a C library consumer.
   * Backport the upstream Python test runner shebang fix to prevent a
     build failure with libuv 1.53.0. Closes: #1151137
