Package: syncbbdb
Severity: important

Hello,

I am the Debian maintainer of pilot-link. syncbbdb depends on
libpda-pilot-perl from pilot-link.

I am not unable to build libpda-pilot-perl from source because of a new
error:

cc -c  -I../../include -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DDEBIAN -fstack-protector 
-fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE 
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O2 -g   -DVERSION=\"0.12.5\" -DXS_VERSION=\"0.12.5\" 
-fPIC "-I/usr/lib/perl/5.18/CORE"  -DPERL_POLLUTE Pilot.c
In file included from /usr/include/string.h:631:0,
                 from /usr/lib/perl/5.18/CORE/perl.h:1045,
                 from Pilot.xs:22:
Pilot.xs: In function ‘doPackCategory’:
Pilot.xs:579:60: error: ‘na’ undeclared (first use in this function)
       strncpy(c->name[i], (s=av_fetch(av, i, 0)) ? SvPV(*s,na) : "", 16);
                                                            ^

It looks like the internals of Perl have changed :-(

The pilot-link project is dead upstream since a few years now.
The project web site http://www.pilot-link.org/ is no more available.

I do not use the libpda-pilot-perl package myself. I do not use
pilot-link other packages any more. So I will not invest energy to fix
this bug.

Alternatives:
1- you adopt pilot-link and maintain it and fix it
2- You help me to fix the FTBFS bug so I can upload a version of
pilot-link
3- You do not help me and I upload a new of pilot-link without the 
libpda-pilot-perl package and syncbbdb will become unusable and removed from 
Debian

I see you adopted syncbbdb in April 2014 so you are active on this
package.

Regards,
