• Bug#1105417: john: FTBFS with make --shuffle=reverse: dh_install: error

    Hi,

    GNU Make now has a --shuffle option that simulates non-deterministic ordering of target prerequisites. See https://trofi.github.io/posts/238-new-make-shuffle-mode.html and also previous work in Debian by Santiago Vila: https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/make-shuffle/

    This package fails to build with make --shuffle=reverse.
    This is likely to be caused by a missing dependency in
    debian/rules or an upstream Makefile.

    More information about this mass bug filing is available at https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS/Shuffle

    Relevant part (hopefully):
    make[1]: Entering directory '/build/reproducible-path/john-1.9.0' debian/rules:111: update target 'override_dh_auto_install' due to: target does not exist
    # install the selected target
    dh_auto_install
    find . -name CREDITS -type f -exec \
    iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 '{}' -o '{}'.utf8 \; -exec \
    mv -f '{}'.utf8 '{}' \;
    # install fallbacks as needed
    make[1]: Leaving directory '/build/reproducible-path/john-1.9.0'
