Source: libcap2 Version: 1:2.24-9 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: helm...@debian.org Usertags: rebootstrap
Dear libcap2 maintainer, When building libcap2 while gperf is installed, the package FTBFS. The upstream source detects the availability of gperf and rebuilds a file. The slightly different contents lateron cause a symbol error due to added symbols, because the package is requesting symbol check level 4. The immediate solution is to add Build-Conflicts: gperf. This is what the attached patch implements. Of course a better solution would be to add gperf to Build-Depends and actually building libcap2 from source. Helmut
