unable to backport gtk2-engines-qtcurve 0.65.x to jaunty

Asked by Shriramana Sharma

I downloaded the source files for gtk2-engines-qtcurve (0.65.1-1ubuntu1):

gtk2-engines-qtcurve_0.65.1-1ubuntu1.dsc
gtk2-engines-qtcurve_0.65.1.orig.tar.gz
gtk2-engines-qtcurve_0.65.1-1ubuntu1.diff.gz

from http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/karmic/gtk2-engines-qtcurve. I have all the dependencies installed:

debhelper
cmake
libgtk2.0-dev

I did:

dpkg-source -x gtk2-engines-qtcurve_0.65.1-1ubuntu1.dsc
cd gtk2-engines-qtcurve-0.65.1
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

I got:

If you want that you'll need to backport yourself a newer version of debhelper, the debian/rules of qtcurve now use a syntax that was introduced in 7.0.50 (jaunty uses 7.0.17ubuntu4):

Taken from changelog:
debhelper (7.0.50) unstable; urgency=low

  * This release is designed to be easily backportable to stable,
    to support the new style of rules file that I expect many packages will
    use.
  * dh: debian/rules override targets can change what is run
    for a specific debhelper command in a sequence.
    (Thanks Modestas Vainius for the improved makefile parser.)
  [...]

The older debhelper version simply ignore all override_* targets in rules. That's why the package doesn't build on jaunty.

Can you help with this problem?
