Thanks for developing a patch. Note that according to #393400, if the pike package actually builds the nettle copy and invokes its self tests, you will also need to disable the self-test that uses the RFC text as input. However, that sounds like the wrong approach, instead the pike package should link to the Debian nettle package where this problem has been fixed already. Possibly the latter is already the case, in which case Robert's patch should work fine. /Simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
