Version: 1.7.2-2
On 32-bit platforms it's necessary to compile programs and libraries
with Large File Support (LFS) in order to allow them to function correctly on
filesystems with > 2GB or 4GB size.
This can be solved by adding "-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" to
the CFLAGS variable when compiling.
apr is currently missing this LFS support and as such it triggers
build-from-source errors in other packages like "subversion" or "devscripts"
on such 32-bit platforms.
There are various possibilities how to add those two defines,
e.g. adding
DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS = future=+lfs
or by manually adding the output of
getconf LFS_CFLAGS
to the CFLAGS variable. Please note, on 64-bit platforms the return value
will be empty which is correct as those flags are not needed on 64-bit arches.
Here is one suggested patch for apr from me:

Please apply this (or another patch) to allow apr to build with LFS support.
Thanks,
