Package: src:po4a
Version: 0.74-1
Tags: forky sid ftbfs
User: [email protected]
Usertags: gettext-1.0
Dear maintainer:
During a rebuild of all packages in unstable using gettext 1.0
(yet to be uploaded for Debian), this package failed to build.
Below you will find the most relevant part.
If required, the full build log is available here:
https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/gettext/build-logs/
I've written this page to explain how to reproduce the problem:
https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/gettext/
This bug will be raised to important once gettext is uploaded for
experimental, and RC once gettext is uploaded for unstable.
About the archive rebuild: The build was made on virtual machines from AWS,
using sbuild and a reduced chroot with only build-essential packages.
If you cannot reproduce the bug please contact me privately, as I
am willing to provide ssh access to a virtual machine where the bug is
fully reproducible.
If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use
reassign and add an affects on src:po4a, so that this is still
visible in the BTS web page for this package.
Thanks.
