Package: zlib Severity: serious Justification: no longer builds from source
Since version 1:2.2.2-5, zlib has been failing to build on sparc and s390. The current build failure on sparc is: [...] gcc -m64 -O3 -g -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -DNO_vsnprintf -DUSE_MMAP -DHAS_snprintf -DHAS_vsnprintf -o example example.o -L. libz.a /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/sparc-linux-gnu/4.0.1/libgcc_s.so when searching for -lgcc_s /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/sparc-linux-gnu/4.0.1/libgcc_s.so when searching for -lgcc_s /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [example] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/build/buildd/zlib-1.2.2/build-tree/zlib-1.2.2' make: *** [debian/stampdir/build-64] Error 2 [...] A full build log can be found at <http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=zlib&ver=1%3A1.2.2-7&arch=sparc&stamp=1120745605&file=log&as=raw>. These problems began following packaging changes intended to support biarch on amd64; perhaps something went wrong with that change? It could also be caused by recent toolchain updates, though; it looks like there are a couple of biarch packages that are having build problems on s390 and sparc now, so please reassign to gcc-4.0 if appropriate. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.27-2-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
