Package: pdftk
Version: 1.44-2
Severity: serious

Hi,

when talking to Andreas Barth about a binNMU of pdftk because of
libgcj-bc he stumbled upon some build errors on some archs. The build
fails if the gcj version installed (e.g. 4.6) has no corresponding g++
installed on the system; AFAIK there's no way to ensure that via
Build-Depends:.

I'd recommend to drop $(VERSUFF) stuff in debian/rules completely, just
using g++/gcj/whatever, but this causes runtime linking errors currently
as the ABIs don't match (see #624776), but this is clearly gcc-default's
fault. Once this is fixed a rebuild should fix the build and the runtime
errors permanently (and the dependency on g++-4.4 on hppa can be
dropped; I suspect this has been added for the same reason).

Sebastian
