Bug#1051154: FTBFS with doxygen 1.9.8

[Paolo Greppi]

Package: libcaca-dev
Version: 0.99.beta20-3
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs

X-Debbugs-Cc: paolo.gre...@libpf.com

Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past) While preparing to upload doxygen 1.9.8, I did a partial rebuild of packages that build-depend on it. More info here: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/doxygen/-/wikis/ratt_doxygen_1.9.8+ds-1_amd64-partial

Of 510 packages I tried, 6 failed and one is libcaca-dev.

The build error was:

  The control sequence at the end of the top line
  of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
  misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
  spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
  and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

  ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [text input levels=15].
  \tabu@textbar ...ar \m@ne \scantokens {\def \:{|}}

  l.46 \begin{DoxyParams}{Parameters}
                                    ^^M
  If you really absolutely need more capacity,
  you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.


  Here is how much of TeX's memory you used:
  18690 strings out of 477695
  304727 string characters out of 5831649
  1925759 words of memory out of 5000000
  38172 multiletter control sequences out of 15000+600000
  560241 words of font info for 97 fonts, out of 8000000 for 9000
  14 hyphenation exceptions out of 8191

  !  ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
  make[3]: *** [Makefile:663: stamp-latex] Error 1

I attach the full build log.
