Hi, upstream has closed issue #91[1] and it should work with Debian packaged htslib. Thus I've added libhts-dev to Build-Depends but the build finally fails with
... I: pybuild base:217: cd /build/cyvcf2-0.10.2/.pybuild/cpython2_2.7_cyvcf2/build; python2.7 -m nose -v. Failure: ImportError (/build/cyvcf2-0.10.2/.pybuild/cpython2_2.7_cyvcf2/build/cyvcf2/cyvcf2.so: undefined symbol: bcf_float_missing) ...

Could someone please have a look? Kind regards Andreas. PS: I've just closed #904836. I'd like to repeat my plea that people join our Advent calendar bug squashing. This was the easiest bug so far since it was closed with a previous upload but forgotten in d/changelog. It would really help if others could check for those easy ones in our list of bugs. Thank you.
