Package: labplot Version: 1.5.1.6-1 Severity: serious Hi Helen,
labplot is failing to build on some architectures with the following error: [...] cd . && /usr/bin/make -f admin/Makefile.common configure make[2]: Entering directory `/build/buildd/labplot-1.5.1.6' ./admin/cvs.sh: line 11: autoconf: command not found make[2]: *** [configure] Error 1 [...] A full build log can be found at, e.g., <http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=labplot&arch=hppa&ver=1.5.1.6-1&stamp=1179693109>. Since this failure didn't happen on all architectures, it is likely a result of a race condition caused by patches to autogenerated files being included in the Debian diff ahead of patches to the files from which they were generated. On a recent 2.6 kernel, you may be able to reproduce this error with a high degree of frequency by doing a fresh unpack of the source package and attempting to build it in a clean chroot. The best fix here is probably to use a patch system that allows you to list the changes to source files separately from the changes to autogenerated files. Cheers, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
