Control: retitle -1 sane-frontends: FTBFS: Couldn't find SANE libraries (sane-backends)
Hello, This seems to be a regression caused by the newly uploaded sane-backends. Maybe that should get an RC bug to prevent it from going into testing! Would probably make sense to atleast add a Breaks: sane-fronteds (<< fixed-version) to the new version of sane-backends. Anyway, more about sane-frontends FTBFS below.

Unfontunately when this occurs the configure script exits with code 0. https://sources.debian.org/src/sane-frontends/1.0.14-16/configure.in/#L131 It would be much better if it exited with an error code (and printed the error messages to stderr instead of stdout while at it). Then we wouldn't have to proceed to end up with this: > > > > create-stamp debian/debhelper-build-stamp > > dh_prep > > dh_installdirs > > dh_auto_install --destdir=debian/sane/ > > dh_install > > dh_install: warning: Cannot find (any matches for) > > "debian/sane/usr/bin/xscanimage" (tried in ., debian/tmp) [...] The fix would probably be to replace ldflags with libs here (and bump version of libsane-dev build-dep as this would not work with older versions than the one currently in unstable): https://sources.debian.org/src/sane-frontends/1.0.14-16/configure.in/#L117 The sane-backends.pc from unstable (1.2.1-1) has: # grep -e ldflags= -e libs= /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/sane-backends.pc libs= -ldl -lm -ltiff -ljpeg -lgphoto2 -lgphoto2_port -lm -lavahi-common -lavahi-client -lusb-1.0 While the sane-backends.pc currently in testing (1.1.1-6) has: # grep -e ldflags= -e libs= usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/sane-backends.pc ldflags=-Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now libs= Regards, Andreas Henriksson
