--- Begin Message ---Package: libxft-dev Version: 2.3.2-1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? Tried to build Motif from sources. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Take Motif sources and run configure && make * What was the outcome of this action?

Motif should compile without errors. /usr/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h from the package libxft-dev. This header has include string: .... #include <ft2build.h> .... on line 39. This is incorrect.
