I can't reproduce this with a vanilla pbuilder setup, so I'm not sure what's
causing the difference between the two builds.

Hi Daniel,

Can you provide any steps how we can reproduce the issue?
Does this problem happen with a fresh checkout of the sources, i.e. when
you run "apt-get source -b systemd"?

Dear Maintainer,

At first I cannot reproduce the FTBFS for systemd version 215-10 in a clean unstable pbuilder environment.
This means the package building works as expected.

But I cannot build the "experimental" release 218-5 in a clean unstable pbuilder environment nor in a mixed unstable/experimental pbuilder environment.

The test "test-socket-util" is failing in such a pbuilder chroot environment.
After the adjustment of d/p/Disable-tests-which-fail-on-buildds.patch to disable this test, the package building works as expected.


And if I try to build the source package as user root within a pbuilder chroot environment than a further test case is failing -> test/udev-test.pl.

It looks, that there is testing problem.

Kind regards,
Detlev

Create jessie chroot (I used debootstrap --variant=buildd jessie jessie)

Install build-deps for systemd and then build systemd.  It works.

Then do 'touch /usr/bin/intltool-merge'

Try build again.  It fails.

Then do 'touch -d "2012-01-01" /usr/bin/intltool-merge'

Now build passes again.

For some reason systemd lists /usr/bin/intltool-merge as a build
dependancy for the .policy files, so the date stamp of the tool matters
to make.  If the intltool-merge date is newer than the .policy files in
systemd, the build fails.

So at this point if you rebuild intltool for any reason, systemd stops
being able to be compiled.  That could be rather unfortunate for security
updates should both intltool and systemd happen to need some.

It turns out the cause is actually not in systemd, but rather a mistake
in intltool in /usr/share/aclocal/intltool.m4

The following patch solves systemd's FTBFS as far as I can tell:

So I simply removed /usr/bin/intltool-merge from the list of dependancies
of the make rule, since it makes no sense to be there.  Either the tool
exists and it will run and do the job, or it doesn't and the rule will
fail to execute.  The time stamp of it should not be relevant.

I think this should be reassigned to intltool, since it is at fault and
other packages are likely affected too.

Ok, reassigning to intltool

I finally tracked down a simple way to reproduce the build failure (all in
a pbuilder login session with the sources line uncommented in
/etc/apt/sources.list):
1. mkdir /tmp/intltool; cd /tmp/intltool; apt-get build-dep intltool
--no-install-recommends; apt-get source -b intltool
2. dpkg -i intltool_*.deb; apt-get -f install --no-install-recommends
3. mkdir /tmp/systemd; cd /tmp/systemd; apt-get build-dep systemd
--no-install-recommends; apt-get source -b systemd

The strange thing is: the file contents of the newly built intltool package
and the official intltool package are identical.  About the only difference
I can see between them is in the file timestamps.

I've just hit the issue on a rebuild we're doing for a derivative. The problem
isn't intltool, it's that autools want to rebuild
org.freedesktop.hostname1.policy due to intltool-merge now being more recent
then the policy file in the source tarball.

Remaking the policy file fails because there is no src/hostname directory in
the out-of-tree build... In turn the reason there isn't a src/hostname
directory is because we configure with --disable-dependency-tracking
(dh_auto_configure default as it's meant to speed up one-time builds).. Lovely.

I'm having a look whether i can fix upstreams autofoo to make this work
properly.

tag 770734 + patch
thanks

Further investigation makes me believe fixing it in intltools autofoo is
better, attached patch ensures the target directory always exists.

Note the previous patch suggested in this bug, to make the target not depend on
intltool-merge, only works around the symptom not the problem
