[config-package-dev] transform does not work on ubuntu trusty

[Djokic, Slavisa]

Hello Jonathan,

well, the error (of course) was my fault. It turned out that my configuration of the mirror  in the ~/. pbuilderrc was wrong. So it couldn't get the build dependencies, as the error message stated. The Debian wicki shows how to setup pbuilder.

Now I'm struggling with another problem: How do I apply a displace-extension? I didn't really find a good example on this (yes I did read the very fine manual). Really wondering why this  project of yours isn't used (and documented) much more as of google.

The package in the attachment builds now, but in the build it states an error after dh_configpackage: couldn't find /usr/bin/rkhunter. The transformation is just to make tests easier. In the end the rkhunter.patch would be applied. Or do you have a better idea?

Thanks in advance and best wishes from Germany
Sascha

No, that is correct, config-package-dev should be in Build-Depends in the control file.

Are you able to share your entire package build directory, including the debian/ directory?  That will probably make it easier for us to figure out what might be going wrong.

However, that's probably also a bad idea, since patch will still look for the source file (to be patched) on the filesystem.  There is, as far as I can tell, no good way to get patch to use stdin as the original (to-be-patched) file.
