Package: libkres-dev Version: 3.2.1-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
A little over half of the header files shipped in libkres-dev contain an #include line that refers to other files in "lib/…", for example: #include "lib/defines.h" You can see these with: grep -n 'include "lib' /usr/include/libkres/*.h This breaks anything that tries to #include these files directly, with errors like this: gcc -o kres-test kres-test.c -lkres In file included from kres-test.c:1: /usr/include/libkres/module.h:23:10: fatal error: lib/defines.h: No such file or directory #include "lib/defines.h" ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. make: *** [Makefile:4: kres-test] Error 1 Of the files that don't include such a broken #include, they are either not particularly useful on their own (e.g. /usr/include/libkres/defines.h) or they refer to functions not actually exported by libkres.so (e.g. /usr/include/libkres/signature.h, which exposes a C header for kr_authenticate_referral, which is not in libkres.so). So libkres-dev doesn't really work at all right now, and the distributed shared object libkres.so.* itself doesn't seem to be useful for anything other than knot-resolver. Upstream is planning to eventually produce some sort of functional library, but they're not clear on what it looks like: https://gitlab.labs.nic.cz/knot/knot-resolver/merge_requests/770 So i think my earlier attempt at splitting out libkres was overly optimistic, and will probably roll it back so that we're not shipping a useless package. When libkres matures, i'm sure we'll be able to split it out again! --dkg -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable-debug'), (200, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libkres-dev depends on: ii libkres9 3.2.1-1 libkres-dev recommends no packages. libkres-dev suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
