error installation this package on debian 12

[zizitizi]

hello

I assumed to install this package on Debian 12 but , I encountered a error :

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: using a gain-root-command while being root
dpkg-buildpackage: info: source package mysql-snmp
dpkg-buildpackage: info: source version 1.2-1
dpkg-buildpackage: info: source distribution unstable
dpkg-buildpackage: info: source changed by brice brice+debian@daysofwonder.com
dpkg-buildpackage: info: host architecture amd64
dpkg-source --before-build .
fakeroot debian/rules clean
dh_testdir
dh_testroot
rm -f build-stamp configure-stamp

Add here commands to clean up after the build process.

/usr/bin/make DESTDIR=/root/mysql-snmp/debian/mysql-snmp clean
make[1]: Entering directory '/root/mysql-snmp'
rm /root/mysql-snmp/debian/mysql-snmp/usr/sbin/mysql-snmp
rm: cannot remove '/root/mysql-snmp/debian/mysql-snmp/usr/sbin/mysql-snmp': No such file or directory
make[1]: [Makefile:23: clean] Error 1 (ignored)
make[1]: Leaving directory '/root/mysql-snmp'
dh_clean
dh_clean: error: Compatibility levels before 7 are no longer supported (level 5 requested)
make: *** [debian/rules:46: clean] Error 255
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules clean subprocess returned exit status 2

is there any help tp solve my problem?

Hi,
I'm not surprised it doesn't work anymore since this project hasn't been touched in years :)
You might want to change debian/compat (replace the 5 in this file to 7). That increases the compatibility but doesn't mean that it will make the package actually compatible.
To properly update you need to use https://manpages.debian.org/testing/debhelper/debhelper-obsolete-compat.7.en.html to bring the compatibility to level 7, then from there use https://manpages.debian.org/testing/debhelper/debhelper-compat-upgrade-checklist.7.en.html to upgrade to level 8.
I don't have any debian systems anymore to be able to do that by myself, but I'm open to any PR you'd want to send me.
