Package: axel
Version: 2.17.10-2
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
Dear Maintainer,
When building axel from sources (with dpkg-buildpackage), the build fails
partway through unless txt2man is installed. txt2man is not currently listed
under the 'Build-Depends' field in debian/control.
After manually installing txt2man, the build completes normally.
I was building it on my powerbook (powerpc), but have also noticed this on one
of my amd64 machines (which I am sending this message from, hence the 'built
successfully in the past' message).
This is likely my first Debian bug report, so I apologise in advance if I did
this wrong. I am letting 'reportbug' determine the severity but I don't
personally see it as a huge deal. If it's actually a policy violation, then I
guess that's why.
Errors:
