Summary0013232: CPackDeb fails on dependency auto-gen if any component does not contain any ELF binaries
DescriptionWhen using components, CPackDeb module will fail if CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_SHLIBDEPS is on but any one of the components do not contain ELF binaries (for example, a config component consisting entirely of text configuration). I strongly suspect it will fail for non-component builds to (haven't tested), but figure this is an unlikely scenario - ie. it would be extremely unlikely to be using cmake and not produce any binary output for installation!
Steps To ReproduceMake sure

set(CPACK_COMPONENTS_IGNORE_GROUPS TRUE)
set(CPACK_DEB_COMPONENT_INSTALL TRUE)
set(CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_SHLIBDEPS TRUE)

After running "make package" (with project "project" containing three components - "server", "gui" and "runtime" with the latter consisting solely of (common) configuration files ...

Run CPack packaging tool...

Additional InformationCPackDeb.cmake expects a project (or component) to always contain ELF binaries for install. This is not always true.

Sending old, never assigned issues to the backlog.

(The age of the bug, plus the fact that it's never been assigned to anyone means that nobody is actively working on it...)

If an issue you care about is sent to the backlog when you feel it should have been addressed in a different manner, please bring it up on the CMake mailing list for discussion. Sign up for the mailing list here, if you're not already on it: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake [^]

It's easy to re-activate a bug here if you can find a CMake developer who has the bandwidth to take it on, and ferry a fix through to our 'next' branch for dashboard testing.
