I've found the problem in the end. This part of ubuntu's patch renders the package broken:
--- check-0.9.6.orig/check.m4 +++ check-0.9.6/check.m4 @@ -4,8 +4,8 @@ AC_DEFUN([AM_PATH_CHECK], [ - AC_MSG_WARN([A@&t...@m_path_check() is deprecated]) - AC_MSG_WARN([[use P@&t...@kg_check_modules([CHECK], [check >= 0.9.4]) instead]]) + AC_MSG_WARN([AM_PATH_CHECK() is deprecated]) + AC_MSG_WARN([[use PKG_CHECK_MODULES([CHECK], [check >= 0.9.4]) instead]]) AC_ARG_WITH([check], [ --with-check=PATH prefix where check is installed [default=auto]]) @&t@ part was put there to prevent expanding the AM_PATH_CHECK() macro. It makes the package broken for any new check-using project (or old, after running `aclocal`). Please remove that part ASAP, as this makes the package practically useless. -- Compilation with check not possible (infinite loop) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/487903 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
