override_dh_auto_install fails when building in a virtualenv

[Mischa ter Smitten]

I'm trying to build duplicity (version 0.7.19) in a virtualenv. I'm using the following steps:

sudo apt install build-essential debhelper devscripts equivs dh-virtualenv;

mkvirtualenv -ppython2 ANSPB-453;
pip install --upgrade pip;
pip install make-deb;
pip install -r requirements.txt;

sudo apt-get install librsync-dev par2 rdiff;
# dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc;
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -f;

The last command fails on:

rm -r debian/duplicity/usr/share/doc/duplicity-*

when building in a virtualenv this directory does not exist.

debian/duplicity/home/mtersmitten/.virtualenvs/ANSPB-453/share/doc/duplicity-0.7.19

however does.

changing the rm command to:

find debian/duplicity -path "*share/doc/*" -name "duplicity-*" -print0 | xargs --no-run-if-empty -0 rm -r

fixes the issue.

Nevermind, I see that this results in an incorrect deb

[Kenneth Loafman (kenneth-loafman)]

First, 0.7.19 is EOL, as is Python 2.

Second, there are alternatives to deb tools for installing 0.8-series:

* Source - https://gitlab.com/duplicity/duplicity
* Stable tarball install - https://launchpad.net/duplicity/+download
* Daily duplicity PPA - https://code.launchpad.net/~duplicity-team/+archive/ubuntu/duplicity-develop-git
* Stable duplicity PPA - https://code.launchpad.net/~duplicity-team/+archive/ubuntu/duplicity-release-git
* Stable snap builds - “sudo snap install duplicity —classic"
* Latest snap builds - “sudo snap install duplicity —classic —edge"
* Latest pip3 builds - “sudo pip3 install duplicity"

[Mischa ter Smitten (mischa-ter-smitten)]

Is the "Stable duplicity" backwards compatible with 0.7.19?

[Kenneth Loafman (kenneth-loafman)]

Yes!

It's not build for 16.04, right?

[Mischa ter Smitten (mischa-ter-smitten)]

And there's also not package for Python 3.5

root@anspb-453:~# pip3 install duplicity
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement duplicity (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for duplicity

[Kenneth Loafman (kenneth-loafman)]

No, duplicity will not run correctly under Python 3.5, however, there is a
solution:

$ sudo snap install duplicity --classic

This will install duplicity in a virtual environment with a modern Python
and all dependencies.
