Package: src:bitcoin Version: 0.11.1-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch When trying to build bitcoin in Debian stable, all build dependencies are available, but the build fail with this message:

Is there some build dependency that need to be versioned? Or perhaps the source could be changed to build on Debian stable by default? I'm building using cdbs version 0.4.130 and debhelper version 9.20150101. --- debian/rules.orig 2015-12-25 08:51:15.019630959 +0100 +++ debian/rules 2015-12-25 08:51:27.000000000 +0100 @@ -18,7 +18,7 @@ # along with this program.
