dpkg-buildpackage and --disable-python result in error

[Mini]

Building a .deb with "--disable-python" config option fails for me.
Before running the build, I modified the debian/rules file as follows:

Code: Select all

uncommented OSE=1
uncommented STAGEDISO=prebuild (added the needed stuff to this folder)
uncommented NODOCS=1
added to the cfg_flags section the following options: --enable-hardening --disable-java --disable-alsa --disable-python --disable-dbus --disable-sdl-ttf --disable-opengl --disable-docs --disable-libvpx --disable-udptunnel

Then I run "dpkg-buildpackage -d -b -uc -us -nc". I can see that the compilation phase succeeds, but the installation phase fails:

Code: Select all

make: *** [binary] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2

I tried to make a quick and dirty fix by commenting the code in src/VBox/Installer/linux/scripts/install.sh which couses this error (this code has something to do with the setup of python api to VirtualBox, which IMHO should not be executed when I use "--disable-python"):

Code: Select all

#(
#    cd "${INSTALL_SOURCE}/sdk/installer"
#    export VBOX_INSTALL_PATH="${RELATIVE_PREFIX}${INSTALL_FOLDER}"
#    "${PYTHON_COMMAND}" "vboxapisetup.py" install --root "${ROOT}" --prefix "${RELATIVE_PREFIX}"
#)
#rm -rf ${INSTALL_SOURCE}/sdk/installer

but got a new error:

Code: Select all

/home/me/Downloads/VirtualBox-4.3.20/debian/virtualbox-ose/opt/VirtualBox-4.3.20_OSE/scripts/install.sh --package virtualbox --root /home/me/Downloads/VirtualBox-4.3.20/debian/virtualbox-ose \

So, this dirty fix did not work.

NOTE 1: If I remove the "--disable-python" option in debian/rules, then the creation of .deb succeeds, so the problem is definitely in "--disable-python".
NOTE 2: If I use "kmk; kmk packing" instead of dpkg-buildpackage and add the "--disable-python" option to "./configure", then the build also succeeds and I get the .run installation file.
NOTE 3: All of the above is true for building sources both from VirtualBox-4.3.20.tar.bz2 and from the latest SVN repo.

Is this a bug? Should I create a bug report for it?
Thanks for your help in advance.
