gutsy/amd64: ftbfs / autopkgtest failure

 affects /ubuntu/firefox-themes-ubuntu

An instance of autopkgtest (an automatic package testing system) has
found that this package either failed to build from source - or that
it declared some tests in its debian/tests/control and that at least
one of these tests failed.

A human has briefly looked at the transcript and concluded that the
fault is a bug in the package or one of its build-dependencies.

The test environment is an amd64 Xen guest with limited amounts of
memory. The relevant dependencies are installed for each test but
very few other packages.

The top and bottom of the mail sent by the autopkgtest instance to its
administrator is included below:

This appears to be due to the ubuntu firefox package now jarring its themes:

root@gutsy:~/build/firefox-themes-ubuntu-0.5.4.1# ls -al /usr/share/firefox/chrome/classic*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 766704 Sep 19 17:55 /usr/share/firefox/chrome/classic.jar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 322 Sep 19 17:55 /usr/share/firefox/chrome/classic.manifest
root@gutsy:~/build/firefox-themes-ubuntu-0.5.4.1#

It isn't exactly clear to me how this should be fixed. Does f-t-u have any facilities at the moment for unbundling jars at package build time ?

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

f-t-u build-depends on java-gcj-compat, so it can unbundle jars as well as creating them; but unlike "tar", the -C option to "jar" doesn't work right, so I found it easier to add a build-dep on unzip anyway since I trust unzip's behavior a bit more.

I've attached a debdiff which I believe gets this package building right again. Alternatively, a signed source package is available at http://people.ubuntu.com/~vorlon/firefox-ubuntu-themes/ if someone would care to sponsor it into main.

That's great, thanks. I've done that.

(I had to rebuild your upload because you didn't pass -S to
dpkg-buildpackage.)

Ian.

firefox-themes-ubuntu (0.5.4.2) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Handle theme sources as either a jar or a directory; adds a
    build-dependency on "unzip", since fastjar has annoying semantics
    for jar extraction. LP: #127200.
