Package: libtool Version: 2.4.6-2.1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? I ran libtoolize in the curl project and shipped that ltmain.sh in a tarball when I relased curl 7.60.0 a few days ago. That ltmain.sh script assumes IFS behaviors that seems to not work on at least AIX's default shell. See https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/2611 for the curl issue and additional details. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I ran libtoolize with libtool 2.4.6 Debian-2.4.6-2.1 Notably, the ltmain.sh script as generated by the previous version (2.4.6 Debian-2.4.6-2) works. * What was the outcome of this action? A library cannot be built with this libtool version on at least AIX 6.1. I would presume the problem is wider but I haven't confirmed that. * What outcome did you expect instead? That the previous ltmain.sh functionality would still be present and it would work on non-bash shells just fine. *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.16.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE= (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages libtool depends on: ii autotools-dev 20180224.1 ii clang-3.8 [c-compiler] 1:3.8.1-27 ii clang-4.0 [c-compiler] 1:4.0.1-10+b1 ii clang-5.0 [c-compiler] 1:5.0.2-2 ii clang-6.0 [c-compiler] 1:6.0-3+b1 ii clang-7 [c-compiler] 1:7~svn331965-1 ii cpp 4:7.3.0-3 ii file 1:5.33-2 ii gcc [c-compiler] 4:7.3.0-3 ii gcc-5 [c-compiler] 5.5.0-12 ii gcc-6 [c-compiler] 6.4.0-17 ii gcc-7 [c-compiler] 7.3.0-19 ii libc6-dev [libc-dev] 2.27-3 Versions of packages libtool recommends: ii libltdl-dev 2.4.6-2.1 Versions of packages libtool suggests: ii autoconf 2.69-11 ii automake [automaken] 1:1.15.1-3.1 pn gcj-jdk <none> pn gfortran | fortran95-compiler <none> pn libtool-doc <none> -- no debconf information
