Source: gnumeric
Version: 1.12.46-1
Tags: patch
User: debian-cr...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: cross-satisfiability

gnumeric cannot be cross built from source, because its Build-Depends
are not cross satisfiable. One of the reasons is its dependency on
libxml-parser-perl. The dependency is requested for the host
architecture and thus results in a conflict with perl, which is
(implicitly) requested for the build architecture. Since gnumeric uses
intltool, libxml-parser-perl has become an implementation detail of
intltool and the dependency is no longer necessary. It can simply be
dropped with no replacement. Please consider applying the attached
patch.
