Package: khmer Severity: normal Hi,
the autopkgtest of khmer is failing[1] with ... + c++ -o test-prog-static -std=c++11 /usr/share/doc/khmer-common/test-compile.cc /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liboxli.a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbz2.a /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbz2.a(bzlib.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against symbol `BZ2_crc32Table' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbz2.a(compress.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.8' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbz2.a(decompress.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbz2.a(blocksort.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status ... The solution probably would be to fix the makefile to include -fPIC. Kind regards Andreas.
