The fixed g++/gcj-version have been mainly introduced to ensure that g++ and gcj have the same version, otherwise run-time error occurs. See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=624776 for related discussion.
Currently, the g++ and gcj default versions are the same everywhere, so this check can really be dropped. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #624776 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=624776 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1559477 Title: pdftk should be built with default toolchain (g++/gcj-5) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pdftk/+bug/1559477/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
