Package: gcin Version: 1.2.9-1 Severity: serious Justification: FTBFS Tags: patch
The gcin package FTBFS on five arches according to [1]. Among those build failures, the ones on amd64 and powerpc seems to be triggered by a braindead test in the configure script. The configure looks for /lib64/ at build time, and if it finds one, it will assume the system use /lib64/ and /usr/lib64/ by default, and happily installs stuff there. Then later when debian/rules tries to move the GTK IM module in /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/immodules/ and can't find anything there, the build will fail. 1. http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?pkg=gcin I've used the attached patch in Ubuntu, it seems to make gcin to build on i386, amd64, powerpc, and ia64 [2]. (Strangely, the ia64 build for Ubuntu doesn't experience the tsa2d32 segfault failure as it does in Debian.) The sparc build in Ubuntu, as well as the ia64, sparc, and hppa build in Debian, on the other hand, have a different FTBFS problem caused by the tsa2d32 segfault mentioned above. 2. https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gcin/1.2.9-1ubuntu1 Please consider applying this patch to the Debian package.
