Create jessie chroot (I used debootstrap --variant=buildd jessie jessie) Install build-deps for systemd and then build systemd. It works.
Then do 'touch /usr/bin/intltool-merge' Try build again. It fails. Then do 'touch -d "2012-01-01" /usr/bin/intltool-merge' Now build passes again. For some reason systemd lists /usr/bin/intltool-merge as a build dependancy for the .policy files, so the date stamp of the tool matters to make. If the intltool-merge date is newer than the .policy files in systemd, the build fails. So at this point if you rebuild intltool for any reason, systemd stops being able to be compiled. That could be rather unfortunate for security updates should both intltool and systemd happen to need some. It turns out the cause is actually not in systemd, but rather a mistake in intltool in /usr/share/aclocal/intltool.m4 The following patch solves systemd's FTBFS as far as I can tell: --- /usr/share/aclocal/intltool.m4.orig 2015-01-29 19:51:03.000000000 +0000 +++ /usr/share/aclocal/intltool.m4 2015-01-29 19:51:08.000000000 +0000 @@ -72,29 +72,29 @@ AC_SUBST(intltool__v_merge_options_) AC_SUBST(intltool__v_merge_options_0) - INTLTOOL_DESKTOP_RULE='%.desktop: %.desktop.in $(INTLTOOL_MERGE) $(wildcard $(top_srcdir)/po/*.po) ;

Either the tool exists and it will run and do the job, or it doesn't and the rule will fail to execute. The time stamp of it should not be relevant. I think this should be reassigned to intltool, since it is at fault and other packages are likely affected too. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
