Package: zapping Version: 0.8.0-2 Severity: serious Hi, your package is failing to build because it's using a static non fPIC lib to make a shared lib.
Here is an extract from the build log: /bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=link x86_64-linux-gcc -Wall -g -O2 -o libteletext.zapping.la -rpath /usr/lib/zapping/plugins bookmark.lo export.lo main.lo preferences.lo search.lo toolbar.lo view.lo window.lo ../../libvbi/libvbi.a -lpng -lz -lm -lpthread *** Warning: Linking the shared library libteletext.zapping.la against the *** static library ../../libvbi/libvbi.a is not portable! x86_64-linux-gcc -shared .libs/bookmark.o .libs/export.o .libs/main.o .libs/preferences.o .libs/search.o .libs/toolbar.o .libs/view.o .libs/window.o ../../libvbi/libvbi.a -lpng -lz -lm -lpthread -Wl,-soname -Wl,libteletext.zapping.so.0 -o .libs/libteletext.zapping.so.0.0.0 /usr/bin/ld: ../../libvbi/libvbi.a(cache.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC ../../libvbi/libvbi.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[4]: *** [libteletext.zapping.la] Error 1 The previous version (0.8.0-1) build without problems and the changelog doesn't seem to indicate why this would now fail. It seems that previously it didn't try to make the libteletext.zapping.so but does now. A static library should be build without -fPIC and a shared library should be build using -fPIC. If you need the static library too you will have to build all those files twice, once using -fPIC, once not using it. >From the build log it looks like the libvbi.a isn't used for anything other than linking the libteletext.zapping.so so I suggest you just build those files once using -fPIC. Note: this is a build log from amd64, it should fail on some other arches (like hppa) too but they failed for an other reason so far. If it happens to only affect amd64 please lower the severity.
