Package: dpkg Version: 1.13.22 Severity: serious Justification: no longer builds from source
Hello, dpkg currently fails to build from source on mips, which stops its transition to testing. The build log is available at http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=dpkg&ver=1.13.22&arch=mips&stamp=1150904570&file=log&as=raw After an investigation with Thiemo Seufer, this issue is caused by perl. perl also FTBFS on mips, and the mips build daemon uses perl 5.8.8-4 and perl-modules 5.8.8-6. With this combination, the Encode::JP::JIS7 module is not installed, which finaly causes the dpkg build failure. To fix this bug, I can see the following actions: 1) wait until #374396 (perl FTBFS on mips) or #377385 (perl-modules dependencies) is fixed 2) manually build dpkg on mips with perl-modules 5.8.8-4 3) adding `|| true' after calling po4a to make sure the generation of the translated man pages do not stop the build. Note: the FTBFS in probably also present on hppa (where perl also FTBFS). Kind Regards, -- Nekral -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
