Bug#306254: axe: FTBFS: "Failed to satisfy Build-Depends dependency for axe: libxaw-dev"
Package: axe Version: 6.1.2-13 Severity: serious Tags: sarge When building 'axe' in a clean 'testing' chroot, I get the following error: Building axe testing main amd64... Reading Package Lists... Building Dependency Tree... Package libxaw-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source However the following packages replace it: libxaw7-dev libxaw6-dev E: Package libxaw-dev has no installation candidate E: Failed to satisfy Build-Depends dependency for axe: libxaw-dev The new version 6.1.2-14 in 'sid' does not have this problem.

[...] Yes, I have already fixed this problem in 6.1.2-14, but it is not getting into testing. This package is non-free, and unfortunately that means people aren't very inclined to build it on the various archs for me. Also, I don't think this bug should affect the RC bug count for sarge, since it *is* non-free after all. Is there any reason for severity: serious here, other than the fact that the fixed package hasn't made it into testing yet?

I think it is an RC bug for sarge as long as the new version has not entered testing/sarge, which may or may not happen before the release. Please correct me if I am wrong here.

The last three non-free packages that I asked people to build for RC bugfixes were all brought up-to-date in just a couple of days. Cc:ed to the lists for the archs in question. > Also, I don't think this bug should affect the RC bug count for sarge, > since it *is* non-free after all.

The non-free section --- Packages must be placed in _non-free_ or _non-US/non-free_ if they are not compliant with the DFSG or are encumbered by patents or other legal issues that make their distribution problematic. In addition, the packages in _non-free_ and _non-US/non-free_ * must not be so buggy that we refuse to support them, and * must meet all policy requirements presented in this manual that it is possible for them to meet. [1] [1] It is possible that there are policy requirements which the package is unable to meet, for example, if the source is unavailable. These situations will need to be handled on a case-by-case basis. It is obviously possible for axe to have working build-depends here, therefore this requirement should not be waived. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer signature.asc Description: Digital signature
