For testing, I have just compiled thrice without problems, with the original version plus the attached debdiff. Perhaps it is simply a problem with awk, which, afaics, its not part of the base installation (contrary to mawk and sed). The resulting package contains the following:

Can you check with somebody who is knowledgeable about python and especially python extensions? I've also noticed that lintian/linda complain about symlinked changelogs: W: python-vipscc: debian-changelog-file-is-a-symlink W: libvips-tools: debian-changelog-file-is-a-symlink W: libvips-dev: debian-changelog-file-is-a-symlink Can you clarify this with Jay? ** Attachment added: "Test patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10340629/vips_7.12.5-1ubuntu1.debdiff -- Please merge vips 7.15.5-1 from Debian unstable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/161760 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
