Sorry, it looks like you're right. I had just done a quick grep -r ATTRIBUTE_PRINTF_1 /usr/include and found it in /usr/include/ansidecl.h, which sounded to me like an internal glibc header; and the error had started appearing in multiple packages about the time of the glibc 2.9 upload. But it turns out ansidecl.h is actually from binutils-dev... (And by the way, none of the affected packages are mine. I just found these problems doing a rebuild of all packages using pbuilder.) -- Daniel Schepler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
