Package: gnuplot Version: 4.2.4-6 Severity: serious Justification: no longer builds from source
Hello, The package gnuplot fails to build on many architectures [1]. For example, on mipsel, it fails with: > dvips -j0 ps_fontfile_doc > /nonexistent/.dvipsrc: Permission denied > /nonexistent/.dvipsrc: Permission denied > This is dvips(k) 5.96.1 Copyright 2007 Radical Eye Software > (www.radicaleye.com) > ' TeX output 2009.03.18:1041' -> ps_fontfile_doc.ps > dvips: ! Couldn't find header file cm-super-t1.enc. > Note that an absolute path or a relative path with .. are denied in -R2 mode. > make[1]: *** [ps_fontfile_doc.ps] Error 1 > make[1]: Leaving directory `/build/buildd/gnuplot-4.2.4/docs/psdoc' [1] https://buildd.debian.org/~luk/status/package.php?suite=&p=gnuplot There are similar errors on armel and sparc. The file cm-super-t1.enc is provided by the package cm-super-minimal, and having it installed makes the build succeed (at least on armel). I guess this build-dependency is missing, but I still wonder why build succeeded on many other architectures.
