  • Bug#1102441: wireshark: build changes when rebuilt in trixie-security

    From Helmut Grohne@21:1/5 to All on Wed Apr 9 09:00:02 2025
    Package: wireshark
    Version: 4.4.5-1
    Severity: serious
    Justification: violates ftp-master reject faq

    Hi,

    via codesearching around, I ran into the following part of debian/rules

    ifneq ($(filter noble oracular unstable sid testing trixie UNRELEASED,$(DEB_DISTRIBUTION)),)
    CONTROL_IN_SED_CMD := $(CONTROL_IN_SED_CMD)s/@LIBSSH_DEV@/libssh-dev/;
    else
    CONTROL_IN_SED_CMD := $(CONTROL_IN_SED_CMD)s/@LIBSSH_DEV@/libssh-gcrypt-dev/;
    endif

    Consider what happens when wireshark receives a security upload. At that
    point, DEB_DISTRIBUTION will be trixie-security and we flip from the
    first branch to the second branch. That's bad, but what does
    CONTROL_IN_SED_CMD actually do? It's run during override_dh_clean and
    rewrites debian/control. That practice is prohibited by the ftp-master
    reject faq and incurs an rc bug.
