Bug Description
[ Description ]
dh_installxfonts in some cases substitutes a dependency on 'xfont-utils' into ${misc:Depends}. This package doesn't exist; the resulting .deb is uninstallable.
[ Test case ]
Rebuild 'thaixfonts' on bionic and check that the packages depend on 'xfonts-utils' and not 'xfont-utils'.
[ Regression potential ]
If the patch is still wrong, we'll still generate uninstallable packages. If it's really wrong we could break the build.
[ Original report ]
The debhelper shipped with 18.04 contains a typo that generates the wrong dependency when using dh_installxfonts in a package build. There is already a patch from the developer that introduced the typo available in Debian https:/
The effect of this bug can be seen when trying to install a PPA package built in the build farm. See
https:/
