Package: xvidcore Version: 2:1.2.2+debian-2 Severity: important When built, xvidcore checks to see whether libpthread and pthread.h are available. Due to the build system update patch, this check fails, due to a compilation error, shown in config.log. The result is that libxvidcore gets built, with calls to libpthread functions included. When an application that uses the libxvidcore library attempts to link against libxvidcore, the link fails, due to unresolvable symbols in libxvidcore.
It is worth noting that sometimes when one cleans the package, the configure process successfully locates libpthread, likely due to the build system update patch being removed. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.35-13-generic (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
