Package: mawk Version: 1.3.3-12 Severity: normal After trying to work out why mawk was failing to build on my normal system but succeeding in a clean chroot, I realised that this one configure check was giving a different value: checking for byacc... no
becomes: checking for byacc... byacc and the build fails: make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/emdebian/trunk/m/mawk/trunk/mawk-1.3.3' expect 4 shift/reduce conflicts byacc -d parse.y byacc: 4 shift/reduce conflicts. mv y.tab.c parse.c if cmp -s y.tab.h parse.h ;\ then rm y.tab.h ;\ else mv y.tab.h parse.h ; fi cc -g -Wall -O2 -c -o parse.o parse.c In file included from mawk.h:53, from parse.y:81: nstd.h:77: error: expected identifier or ‘(’ before ‘__extension__’ nstd.h:78: error: expected identifier or ‘(’ before ‘__extension__’ nstd.h:78: error: expected identifier or ‘(’ before ‘)’ token nstd.h:81: error: expected identifier or ‘(’ before ‘__extension__’ parse.y: In function ‘field_A2I’: parse.y:1191: warning: suggest parentheses around && within || y.tab.c: In function ‘yyparse’: y.tab.c:1479: warning: label ‘yyerrlab’ defined but not used make[1]: *** [parse.o] Error 1 Removing byacc allows the build to proceed as normal. I don't know, now, why I had byacc actually installed - it didn't have any reverse dependencies. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_GB.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages mawk depends on: ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries mawk recommends no packages. mawk suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
