Source: asymptote Version: 2.86+ds1-1 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 XDR and V3D support in asymptote to be dropped, something which is not recommended by upstream. This can 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
