Package: pkgconf Version: 0.9.12-5 Severity: serious Hi,
today I was puzzled by a package failing to build rather randomly https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=network-manager-pptp&suite=experimental It turns out, some buildds installed pkgconf instead of pkg-config, which resulted in the package failing to build. The package in question uses pkg-config --define-variable prefix='\${prefix}' --variable vpnservicedir libnm With pkg-config this resolves to ${prefix}/lib/NetworkManager/VPN With pkgconf this resolves to \/lib/NetworkManager/VPN As a result, files were installed at the wrong place, trying a dh_install failure. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages pkgconf depends on: ii libc6 2.24-10 ii libdpkg-perl 1.18.23 pkgconf recommends no packages. pkgconf suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
