There is nothing in debian/ which would fill the two udebs (ubuntu delta) with anything -- no *.install files, no code in debian/rules. And indeed libcurl3-udeb and curl-udeb are empty. While this is certainly not the fault of *this* merge, this should be rectified.

Please do some research when this got broken. If this situation is already like that for a long time (pre-trusty), then obviously nobody has actually missed these udebs and they should just be removed. Please talk to the installer team about that, in particular https://launchpad.net/~mathieu-tl . If we don't need them any more, please drop the remainders (in debian/control and merge changelog) in that merge. If we still need them, and the empty udebs broke anything, please fish them out of the previous merge which broke this. Thanks!

Hi Martin, after some research I found they were added for bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xmlrpc-c/+bug/831496

there were both .install and .links files, after a while they became symlinks, and after they disappeared between 7.29 and 7.30, so far before trusty.

Since we are in the early development, I proposed to sed them out and see if any regression (unlikely) is spotted.

@mathieu, what is your opinion on this matter? do we really need the two empty packages?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Works for me. If this got broken pre-trusty it's indeed unlikely to still be needed.

I'm attaching an updated debdiff.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Looks good now, thank you!
