Source: ypbind-mt Version: 2.7.2-2 Severity: serious Tags: ftbfs Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past) User: debian-gl...@lists.debian.org Usertags: libnsl-dev
Dear maintainer, Starting with glibc 2.31, support for NIS (libnsl library) has been moved to a separate libnsl2 package. In order to allow a smooth transition, a libnsl-dev has been added to the libc6-dev package. This dependency has been temporarily dropped in the 2.37-15.1 NMU, as part of the 64-bit time_t transition. This causes ypbind-mt to FTBFS in sid with: | checking for sys/types.h... yes | checking for unistd.h... yes | checking for wchar.h... yes | checking for minix/config.h... no | checking whether it is safe to define __EXTENSIONS__... yes | checking whether _XOPEN_SOURCE should be defined... no | checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... yes | checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config | checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes | checking for libsystemd >= 209... yes | checking for libnsl... no | configure: error: Package requirements (libnsl) were not met: | | Package 'libnsl', required by 'virtual:world', not found | | Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you | installed software in a non-standard prefix. | | Alternatively, you may set the environment variables NSL_CFLAGS | and NSL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. | See the pkg-config man page for more details. | tail -v -n \+0 config.log This could be fixed by adding an explicit Build-Depends on libnsl-dev. The glibc change will likely be reverted in the short term, but given its a change we want to do for Trixie, this will only lower the severity of the bug. Regards Aurelien
