--- Begin Message ---Source: glib2.0 Version: 2.72.0-1 Severity: important Justification: fails to build from source when built in past User: [email protected] Usertags: ftbfs X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected] glib2.0 FTBFS on alpha in the test suite with: GLib-GIO:ERROR:../../../gio/tests/pollable.c:198:test_pollable_unix_pty: 'handle' should not be NULL Bail out! GLib-GIO:ERROR:../../../gio/tests/pollable.c:198:test_pollable_unix_pty: 'handle' should not be NULL ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 161/266 glib:gio / pollable FAIL 0.04s killed by signal 6 SIGABRT The code at line 198 of ../../../gio/tests/pollable.c is: handle = dlopen (LIBUTIL_SONAME, RTLD_GLOBAL | RTLD_LAZY); And in the meson configure log at the start of the build we see: Message: Found libutil as libutil.so.1 This is wrong. There is no libutil.so.1 on Alpha. It should be libutil.so.1.1 The problem seems to me to be at lines 18 to 20 of gio/tests/meson.build: libutil = run_command('sh', '-c', '''ldconfig -p | grep -o "[[:space:]]@0@\.so\(\.[0-9]\+\)\?\b"''' .format(libutil_name), check: false).stdout().strip().split('\n') in which a regular expression is used to match the detected libutil.so version. That regular expression assumes that there is only one digit in the so version thus incorrectly detects the libutil.so version on Alpha. Changing the "\?" to "*" would probably be the fix.

I've sent a merge request upstream. This was merged upstream in 2.73.0, and 2.74.4 seems to compile successfully on alpha in the debian-ports infrastructure. smcv
