openoffice in hardy doesn't build on powerpc

[fuoco]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

In hardy openoffice release candidate of 2.4 is in the repositories, but it didn't build correctly on powerpc. And so only some of the packages are available in version in 2.4 and others are still 2.3 - this results in openoffice being uninstallable because of dependency conflicts.

[Chris Cheney (ccheney)]

This built fine on every arch other than powerpc, and failed on powerpc in pkgstriptranslations so I am not sure what to do to try to fix this if it doesn't just automatically work on the next upload.

pkgmaintainermangler: Error: Unable to locate DEBIAN/control
dh_builddeb: command returned error code 256

Ugh, OO.o creates a package directory which does not have a control file? That's bad...

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

OK, I removed the fatalness from the check, so that OO.o should build now.

  * pkgmaintainermangler: Do not fail the build if DEBIAN/control does not
    exist. This apparently happens under some conditions, like for
    openoffice.org on powerpc. (LP: #205923)

it would be nice to have this fixed upstream as well

It seems that the new OOo upload still didn't build on PPC (binaries for x86 and AMD64 are available). According to http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13083788/buildlog_ubuntu-hardy-powerpc.openoffice.org_1%3A2.4.0-3ubuntu1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz the problem is still the same:

pkgmaintainermangler: Error: Unable to locate DEBIAN/control
dpkg-deb: failed to open package info file `debian/openoffice.org-report-builder/DEBIAN/control' for reading: No such file or directory
dh_builddeb: command returned error code 512
make: *** [debian/stampdir/binary-arch] Error 1

[Chris Cheney (ccheney)]

Yep, the same error but now it tells me enough to know where to fix it. I hope to have it fixed in the next upload.

[Chris Cheney (ccheney)]

I am now waiting to hear back from someone who is building OOo with java enabled on powerpc to see if I can just enable it, which will fix the problem. If java still breaks on powerpc I know how to correct the problem as well, so regardless powerpc will have a build of OOo, hopefully later Monday (today).

Once again the build failed. At least the cause looks different this time!

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

Should be fixed with this upload, although of course we'll find out for sure when the build has finished. See the other reports.

[Aurelien Naldi (aurelien.naldi)]

It failed again. It looks to be caused by the mozilla plugin this time (and it failed for the same reason on i386, I bet the plugin is disabled on the arch that succedeed)

mkdir -p -m755 debian/mozilla-openoffice.org/usr/lib/openoffice/program

make: *** [debian/stampdir/install-arch] Error 1

******************************************************************************

[Chris Cheney (ccheney)]

It built properly in 3ubuntu4, but had mozilla-openoffice.org disabled by accident, due to how the debian/control file is generated. This should be finally fixed in 3ubuntu5 barring any new bugs, argh.

Yes, already known and reported on the other powerpc doesn't build bug report and has been fixed in OOo revision control system. The fix will be released in an upload later this week after the RC release.
