Package: scm
Version: 5e4-2
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source
*** Please type your report below this line ***
While the previous version 5e3-6.1 of this package
builds fine on my machine version 5e4-2 does not.
Here is what I did and what error I get.
I should also mention that this occured on Ubuntu Gutsy.
Since I'm reporting from Debian machine my system info
at the very bottom is useless. I hope my report still is of use.
What I did:
* download SCM 5e4-2 original source and patch
* extract and patch
* run "dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -d -rfakeroot"
(dpkg-buildpackage version 1.14.5ubuntu12)

Why are you using -d? You shouldn't do that as a general rule. Can you
try without -d and see whether the build dependencies are being
satisfied?
I left that paramater in from building another package.
Omitting it revealed that I needed a more recent version of slib.
Installing that fixed the problem: the package now builds all fine.
Sorry for the noise.
