It FTBFS here.

dh_install -ppython-awn --sourcedir=debian/tmp
dh_install: python-awn missing files (usr/lib/python2.*/*-packages/awn/awn.so), aborting
make: *** [binary-install/python-awn] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2
pbuilder: Failed autobuilding of package

I'm changing the status back to New as Confirmed is used when the exception is granted.

[Julien Lavergne (gilir)]

The exact same source build the 4/4 (see my PPA : https://edge.launchpad.net/~gilir/+archive/updates/+build/929684). Also, the debdiff didn't touch the build system or the debian/rules.

I suspect the FTBFS is causes by the last python upload, changing the installation from /usr/lib to /usr/local/lib (see bug 350016).

[Iulian Udrea (iulian)]

Have you tried building it on your system?

[Julien Lavergne (gilir)]

I tried locally on a up-to-date Jaunty system, and it also FTBFS with the same message. Looking at debian/tmp, I saw the files in /usr/local/lib instead of /usr/lib.
I tried also on a up-to-date Sid pbuilder and it build successfully.
It can't build on Intrepid because the Vala version is not enough.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Looks to me like a likely victim of Bug 350016.

[Julien Lavergne (gilir)]

After the correction of bug 350016, the package build now correctly (see in my PPA : http://launchpadlibrarian.net/25461520/buildlog_ubuntu-jaunty-i386.avant-window-navigator_0.3.2-0ubuntu2~ppa3_FULLYBUILT.txt.gz).

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Did you verify this fixes the crash?

[Julien Lavergne (gilir)]

Upstream confirmed that this patch should fix the problem. I was unable to confirmed it because I can't reproduce it, and no one from the bug reported that the patch fix the problem (or the contrary).
Anyway, I think it's save to add it because it was apply upstream 12 days ago without negative feedback. It will also be part of the next bugfix-only release of Avant-window-navigator.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

ack. Go ahead.

This bug was fixed in the package avant-window-navigator - 0.3.2-0ubuntu2

---------------
avant-window-navigator (0.3.2-0ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/90-disable-size-changed_method.patch
   - From upstream (r557), don't use size_changed. It's not used anymore and it
     cause crashes (LP: #351433).
  * debian/patches/91-use-g_strcmp0.patch
   - From upstream (r558), use g_strcmp0 instead of strcmp to avoid crash
     (LP: #352950)
