Package: log4cpp Version: 1.0-2 Severity: serious Dear maintainer of log4cpp,
your latest revision introduced a patch to configure{,.in}. This updates the timestamp of both files and, lacking maintainer mode, causes the Autotools scripts to rerun automake and autoconf which subsequently fails. The package does not depend on those tools and not all necessary m4 defines needed to reproduce the build system are provided in the tarball. Your package failed to auto-build on sparc because of this issue but I could easily reproduce the issue on my machine by calling `debian/rules apply-patches' and then running `./configure && make'.
