Jenkins build failure: unable to remove jquery

[Allan LeSage]

Jenkins builds are failing strangely during teardown, will attach a log. We're setting these failure bugs to high priority so that we can get Coverity and other testing projects going with the successful builds. If you believe this results from a mis-configuration on the Jenkins machine then pls ping alesage or follow-up to this bug.

That is very strange. What is supposed to happen is this:

- by default upstream libdbusmenu-qt installs documentation in $prefix/share/doc/dbusmenu-qt

- the patch debian/patches/001-dbusmenu-doc-path.diff changes this to $prefix/share/doc/libdbusmenu-qt-doc

- the doc is generated with Doxygen in $prefix/share/doc/libdbusmenu-qt-doc. This steps includes a copy of jquery.js in the doc dir.

- since we don't want to ship multiple copies of jquery.js in all packages which contain documentation generated with Doxygen, the debian/rules removes the jquery.js copy

Looking at the output of the install target, I see this:

"""
-- Installing: /tmp/buildd/libdbusmenu-qt-0.9.0/debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/dbusmenu-qt/jquery.js
"""

This is is the old doc dir, implying 001-dbusmenu-doc-path.diff has not been applied.

Scrolling up the package unpack part I see this:

"""
dpkg-source: info: extracting libdbusmenu-qt in libdbusmenu-qt-0.9.0
dpkg-source: info: unpacking libdbusmenu-qt_0.9.0-2ubuntu1.tar.gz
"""

That is the correct package version. So far so good. A bit further down however there is this:

"""
dpkg-source: info: using source format `3.0 (native)'
"""

That is wrong. It should say "3.0 (quilt)", as specified in debian/source/format. Using "3.0 (native)" means no patches are applied. I am quite confident this is the cause of your problem.
