Launchpad itself

Package building on ppa failed for permissions.

Asked by VinsS

I upgrade the package of python3-exiv2 on my ppa.

The same builds success for bionic, cosmic, disco and olders distributions.
But since eoan the builds are failed for "Permission denied"

The build log in focal:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/481948104/buildlog_ubuntu-focal-amd64.py3exiv2_0.7.2-0ubuntu8_BUILDING.txt.gz

When building the package a build.sh is created.
------------ build.sh ---------------------------------------------------------

if [ "$1" = "-i" ]; then
    echo "install libexiv2python.so to /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages"

The builders are not allowed creating files outside their build area, e.g. in /usr/lib/python3/...

In your PPA in other distributions, where building succeeds, the following lines are commented out in debian/rules:

...
override_dh_auto_install:
# set -e; \
# /bin/sh build.sh -i
...

Yes, they were commented but that's not the solution, the package is empty.

But you remind me I have two different configure.py files. One for build a .deb on my machine and one for the ppa wich define the path 'debian/python3-exiv2' to copy all files. And I've used the bad configure.py file.

Thanks for your help.
Vincent

Thanks Manfred Hampl, that solved my question.

Maybe you can solve the problem by creating a debian/py3exiv2.install file
