Package: libav-tools Version: 6:9.10-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
In reference to the recent freetype 2.5.1 update libav packages will no longer build with --enable-libfreetype due to the file restructure of <freetype/freetype.h> missing. Manually creating a symlink to freetyp2 under /usr/include resulting in a symlink to freetyp2 called freetype resolves the issues, but one would expect every single hard coded 3rd party app using freetype needs a heads up or something within package building from Debian to work around it. It seems odd that for such an late to the party update to freetype in Debian that third party trunks like libav haven't updated yet. FYI: I'm building from git trunk off of libav to verify this annoyance. Sincerely, Marc J. Driftmeyer P.S. Not building a workaround on such a vital part of the OS [It's type handling system] seems truly short-sighted. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.11-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libav-tools depends on: ii dpkg 1.17.1 ii libavcodec54 6:9.10-1 ii libavdevice53 6:9.10-1 ii libavfilter3 6:9.10-1 ii libavformat54 6:9.10-1 ii libavresample1 6:9.10-1 ii libavutil52 6:9.10-1 ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-5 ii libc6 2.17-97 ii libgnutls26 2.12.23-8 ii libgsm1 1.0.13-4 ii libmp3lame0 1:3.99.5-dmo2 ii libopenjpeg2 1.3+dfsg-4.6 ii libopus0 1.1~rc+20131128-1 ii librtmp0 2.4+20121230.gitdf6c518-1 ii libschroedinger-1.0-0 1.0.11-2 ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.15-8 ii libspeex1 1.2~rc1.1-1 ii libswscale2 6:9.10-1 ii libtheora0 1.1.1+dfsg.1-3.1 ii libva1 1.2.1-2 ii libvorbis0a 1.3.2-1.3 ii libvorbisenc2 1.3.2-1.3 ii libvpx1 1.2.0-2 ii libx264-133 2:0.133.2339+git585324f-2 ii libxvidcore4 3:1.3.2-dmo1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-1 libav-tools recommends no packages.
