Dear maintainer:
During a rebuild of all packages in unstable, your package failed to
build.
Below you will find how the build ends (probably the most relevant
part,
but not necessarily). If required, the full build log is available
here:
https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/202509/
About the archive rebuild: The build was made on virtual machines from
AWS,
using sbuild and a reduced chroot with only build-essential packages.
If you could not reproduce the bug please contact me privately, as I
am willing to provide ssh access to a virtual machine where the bug is
fully reproducible.
If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use
reassign and add an affects on src:arb, so that this is still
visible in the BTS web page for this package.
Thanks.
Hello,
I was able to reproduce the issue on a ppc64el machine using sbuild.
Below is the relevant error log:
make[4]: Leaving directory '/build/reproducible-path/arb-6.0.6'
make[3]: *** [Makefile:1968: arb] Error 2
make[3]: Leaving directory '/build/reproducible-path/arb-6.0.6'

all returned exit code 2

The build failed during the build stage inside the sbuild chroot for
ppc64el architecture.

Hello,
The build fails with GCC 14+ because some functions in CAP2.c are
written in an old C style.
Earlier GCC versions allowed this, but new compilers treat them as
functions with no arguments.
So calls like my_calloc(1) or ckopen(file,mode) now give errors.
The code needs to be updated with proper function declarations.
I will work on preparing a patch to fix this.
Thanks,
Trupti
