The amd64 version of glabels (3.0.1-4+b1) is affected by this problem --
it is built without barcode support on amd64 while other architectures
still have that support. This is a regression from the version of
glabels that was shipped with wheezy.
A closer look at the build log[1] shows that the autoconf check
AC_CHECK_LIB(barcode, Barcode_Create, ...)
fails -- but only on amd64.
Using a version of barcode rebuilt with -fPIC fixes this problem.
I have prepared an NMU for which I am attaching the patch below.
I'm going to upload the fixed package to DELAYED/2. (The bug report has
not been reacted on for almost 18 months and the package has not been
updated in more than four years.) Matti, feel free to reschedule or do
your own upload.
Cheers,
-Hilko
