Package: libkate
Version: 0.4.1-1
Severity: wishlist
Usertags: goto-cc

During a rebuild of all packages in a clean sid chroot (and cowbuilder+pbuilder)
the build failed with the following error. Please note that we use our research
compiler tool-chain (using tools from the cbmc package), which permits extended
reporting on type inconsistencies at link time.

It seems that there is just an error in the forward declaration here:

http://sources.debian.net/src/libkate/0.4.1-1/tools/kateenc.c?hl=39#L39

As the acclaimed but non-existent return value isn't used right now, no
undefined behaviour is to be expected. To ensure no future code modification
makes use of the presumed return value, the declaration should be fixed.

Best,
Michael
