Source: patch Version: 2.7.6-2 Severity: serious Tags: ftbfs patch patch fails to build from source on amd64 in unstable. A build log ends as follows:
| make[3]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/src' | Making all in tests | make[3]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/tests' | cd .. && /bin/bash /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/build-aux/missing automake-1.15 --gnu tests/Makefile | /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/build-aux/missing: line 81: automake-1.15: command not found | WARNING: 'automake-1.15' is missing on your system. | You should only need it if you modified 'Makefile.am' or | 'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'. | The 'automake' program is part of the GNU Automake package: | <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake> | It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run: | <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf> | <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/> | <http://www.perl.org/> | make[3]: *** [Makefile:1361: Makefile.in] Error 127 | make[3]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/tests' | make[2]: *** [Makefile:1325: all-recursive] Error 1 | make[2]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>' | make[1]: *** [Makefile:1225: all] Error 2 | make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>' | make: *** [debian/rules:38: build-stamp] Error 2 | dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build subprocess returned exit status 2 It seems that patch requires automake-1.15, but does not list it in Build-Depends. Actually automake-1.15 is replaced by automake-1.16 now, so there is no way to use that version in Debian anymore. Autoreconfing fixes the issue though. Helmut
