Hi,

when building grace I get the following error:

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/mrvn/build/grace_1:5.1.20-3/grace-5.1.20/src'
Makefile:69: *** target pattern contains no `%'.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/mrvn/build/grace_1:5.1.20-3/grace-5.1.20/src'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mrvn/build/grace_1:5.1.20-3/grace-5.1.20'

Build log is attached.

Have you altered the sources in any way? Please check your building
environment. grace 1:5.1.20-3 build OK on all architectures, including
amd64

http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?arch=&pkg=grace

I saw that too and I saw a few more of the same errors in other
packages. I stoped on reporting anymore after recognising that pattern
and you are just unlucky to be at the top of the failed list.

The source is not altered in any way and the build environment is a
up-to-date sid chroot (updated daily after the mirror pusle) but not
neccesarily a clean one (cleaning is done once a day before updates
but not between builds). Building is done with

apt-get --only-source build-dep grace=1:5.1.20-3
apt-get --only-source source grace=1:5.1.20-3
cd */ && debuild -us -uc -B

I have no idea what causes this. I would suspect the last make
upload. But packages have been build fine a month after that and now
they fail. The buildd chroots should have had the latest make by then.

Can you reproduce it?

Hi,

from other packages that failed with similar messages I found that the
problem is the ':' in thedirectory name. I suspect that you have a
dependency with a full path in line 69.

I'm not sure what to do about that or if it is worth fixing. Shouldn't
be RC imho, severity adjusted.
