Package: libgcal
Version: 0.9.0-1
Severity: serious
Hi,
Whilst building your package on AVR32, the build failed with:
configure: error: "*** pkg-config not found! ***"
This is due to Recommends not being installed on the AVR32 build
daemons, and pkg-config is only being pulled in via a Recommends, (as
far as I can see), but it should clearly Build-Depend on it. As far as I'm
aware this is a policy violation, although I can't find an explicit
paragraph mentioning this, so do correct me if you feel I am wrong. I'm
filing this as serious since in theory it could fail on any architecture,
but feel free to change this if you disagree.
The full build log is available:
http://buildd.debian-ports.org/fetch.php?pkg=libgcal&arch=avr32&ver=0.9.0-1&stamp=1242460973&file=log&as=raw
Regards,
Bradley Smith

OK, closing then.

In that case, I recommend rebuilding the package on a mainstream arch
(i386 or amd64) and filing the bug (as RC) on that to avoid irritation
from other developers (being a niche porter myself I was not irrated
really, but others might easily be).
cheers,
