Source: argus-clients Version: 1:3.0.8.2-6.2 Severity: serious Tags: ftbfs Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past) User: debian-gl...@lists.debian.org Usertags: libtirpc-dev
Dear maintainer, Starting with glibc 2.31, support for NIS (libnsl library) has been moved to a separate libnsl2 package. In order to allow a smooth transition, a libnsl-dev, which depends on libtirpc-dev, has been added to the libc6-dev package. The libnsl-dev dependency has been temporarily dropped in the 2.37-15.1 NMU, as part of the 64-bit time_t transition. This causes argus-clients to FTBFS in sid with: | checking for strtof... (cached) yes | checking for srandomdev... no | checking for tzset... yes | checking for .threads... yes | checking for sched_get_priority_min... yes | checking for local tcp_wrappers library... not found | checking for system tcp_wrappers library... yes | checking for rpc_call in -ltirpc... no | configure: error: no tirpc library, exiting...! | tail -v -n \+0 config.log This could be fixed by adding an explicit Build-Depends on libtirpc-dev. The glibc change will likely be reverted in the short term, but given its a change we want to do for Trixie, this will only lower the severity of the bug. Regards Aurelien
