1270 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1271 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1272 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1273 dh_install, which ...
1274 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1275 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1276 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1277 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1278 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1279 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1280 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1281 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1282 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1283 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1284 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1285 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1286 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1287 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1288 other minor changes.
1289 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1290 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1291 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1292 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1293 course there's -X ..)
1294 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1295 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

1298 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1299 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

1377 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1379 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1380 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1381 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1382 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1383 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1384 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1385 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1386 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1387 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1388 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1389 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1390 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1391 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1392 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1393 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1394 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1396 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1431 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1432 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1433 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1434 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1435 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1436 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1437 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1438 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1439 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1613 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
1615 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
1616 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
1617 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1618 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1619 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1620 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1621 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1622 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1623 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1624 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1625 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
1626 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
1627 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1645 debhelper (3.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
1647 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
1648 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1649 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1650 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1651 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1652 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1653 program those options go to. So, for example,
1654 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1655 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
1656 something complex. Closes: #89311
1657 * Made escape_shell output a lot better.

1661 debhelper (3.0.26) unstable; urgency=low
1663 * Always include package name in maintainer script fragment filenames
1664 and generated shlibs files (except for in DH_COMPAT=1 mode). This is a
1665 purely cosmetic change, and if it breaks anything, you were using an
1666 undocumented interface. Closes: #95387

1685 debhelper (3.0.23) unstable; urgency=low
1687 * dh_shlibdeps: the -l switch now just adds to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, if it is
1688 already set. Newer fakeroots set it, and clobbering their settings
1689 breaks things since they LD_PRELOAD a library that is specified in the
1690 LD_LIBRARY_PATH. (blah) Closes: #97494

1720 The program generates better results, and won't annoy the people who

1722 whole other set of people, I'm sure. Closes: #93747

1773 debhelper (3.0.11) unstable; urgency=low
1775 * dh_makeshlibs: don't follow links to .so files. Instead, we will look
1776 for *.so* files. This should work for the variously broken db3,
1777 liballeg, and it will fix the problem with console-tools-dev, which

1787 packages built with debhelper 3.0.9!) are broken. Closes: #89472

1791 debhelper (3.0.9) unstable; urgency=low
1793 * Modified to use dpkg-architecture instead of dpkg --print-architecture.
1794 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for
1795 the hurd work. Closes: #88494
1796 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
1797 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1798 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1799 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1800 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1801 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1802 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
1803 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
1804 Closes: #88464, #77743
1805 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
1806 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants
1807 us to deal with that gracefully.
1808 * dh_makeshlibs: now uses objdump, should be more accurate. Closes:
1810 * Wildcards have been supported for a while, Closes: #54197

1812 a while, Closes: #51225

1843 * Fixed some bugs in the new dh_perl and updated it to my current
1844 debhelper coding standards.
1845 * Use dh_perl to generate debhelper's own deps.
1846 * Version number increase to meet perl policy.

1857 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1859 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1860 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1861 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1862 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1863 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1864 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1865 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1866 but is mildly deprecated.
1867 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1868 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1869 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1870 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1871 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1872 switching to statoverrides..
1873 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1874 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1875 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1876 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1877 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1878 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1880 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1881 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1882 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1883 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1884 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1885 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1886 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1887 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1888 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1890 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1891 variable names, pod man pages).
1892 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1893 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1894 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1895 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1896 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1897 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1898 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1967 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,

1970 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
1971 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
1972 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
1973 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
1974 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
1975 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that

2032 * If DH_COMPAT=3 is set, the following happens:
2033 - Various debian/foo files like debian/docs, debian/examples, etc,
2034 begin to support filename globbing. use \* to escape the wildcards of
2035 course. I doubt this will bite anyone (Debian doesn't seem to contain
2036 files with "*" or "?" in their names..), but it is guarded by v3 just
2037 to be sure. Closes: #34120, #37694, #39846, #46249

2051 * Reverted the change to make debian/README be treated as README.Debian,
2052 after I learned people use it for eg, documenting the source package
2053 itself. Closes: #34628, since it seems this is not such an "incredibly
2054 minor" change after all. Never underetimate the annoyance of
2055 backwards-compatability.

2059 debhelper (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
2061 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2062 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2063 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2064 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2065 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2066 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2067 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2069 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2070 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2071 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2073 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2075 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2076 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2077 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2078 should now be raised to severity important..
2079 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2080 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2117 debhelper (2.1.23) unstable; urgency=low
2119 * dh_makeshlibs: Also scan files named "*.so*", not just "*.so.*",
2120 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
2121 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2122 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
2123 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

2135 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
2136 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
2137 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
2138 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
2139 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
2140 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

2248 proir versions probably have issues on systems with non-modular

2312 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2314 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2315 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2316 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2317 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2318 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2319 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2320 notice until v2 is complete.
2321 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2322 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2323 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2324 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2325 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2326 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2328 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2329 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2330 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2452 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2453 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2455 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2457 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2458 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

2539 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
2540 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
2541 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2542 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration

2551 * dh_installmanpages:
2552 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely
2553 <kisg@lme.linux.hu>. Closes: #51268
2554 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
2555 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2556 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2557 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2558 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2559 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2560 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2561 otherwise change the result at all.
2563 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2564 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
2565 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
2566 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

2582 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
2583 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
2584 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
2586 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
2587 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
2588 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
2589 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

2683 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2684 I made some changes, though:
2685 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2686 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2687 that is a clear violation of policy.
2688 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2689 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2690 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2691 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2692 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2693 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2694 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2695 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2696 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2698 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2741 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
2742 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2743 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2744 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

2863 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2864 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2865 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2866 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2867 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2868 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2869 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2870 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2871 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2872 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2873 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2883 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2884 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2885 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2886 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows

3046 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
3047 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

3049 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)

3117 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
3118 dh_movefiles still uses it.)

3194 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3195 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3196 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3211 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3212 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3260 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

3262 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.

3572 still return true if update-menus is not executable. This can
3573 legitimatly happen if you are upgrading the menu package, and it makes
3574 postinsts that use command fail. Reverted to using test -x. Packages
3575 built with debhelper >= 1.2.21 that use menus should be rebuilt.

3581 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
3582 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
3583 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I
3584 was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files.

3609 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
3610 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
3611 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
3612 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
3613 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
3614 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
3615 suidregister actually supports it.
3616 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
3617 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

3630 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
3631 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
3632 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
3633 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
3634 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
3635 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
3636 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
3637 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

3805 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
3806 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

3822 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3823 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3824 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3825 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3826 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3827 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3866 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3867 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3868 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to

4063 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.

4192 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4193 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4194 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4195 past week. Thanks, guys!
4197 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4198 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4199 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4200 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4201 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4202 would do in the same situation.
4203 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4204 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4206 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4208 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4209 permissions changed.
4210 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4211 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4212 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4213 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4214 files are treated identically.
4215 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4216 * Minor man page fixes.
4217 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
4218 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
4219 --no-act is on. (#23054)

4228 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4229 use -X multiple times, too.
4230 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4231 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4536 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
4537 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
4539 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
4540 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4541 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4542 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4543 a given package, or -i or -a.
4544 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4545 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4546 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4547 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4548 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4549 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
4550 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
4551 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
4552 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
4554 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
4555 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
4556 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

4578 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
4579 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
4580 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)

4627 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
4628 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
4629 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4630 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4631 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
4632 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
4633 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

4803 it is installed as TODO.Debian.

4807 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4808 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4809 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4810 in a few situations.)

4860 the package build directory it is to act on.
4861 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4862 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4863 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
