Bug#639560: symbol changes

[Jakub Wilk]

* Philipp Kern pk...@debian.org, 2011-08-28, 10:52:
The package FTBFS'es on mips, powerpc, s390, sparc and the inofficial 
ports s390x and powerpcspe because of changes in the symbol set wrt the 
symbols file:


Hmm, symbols file was added in 0.7-5, even though it isn't mentioned in 
the changelog.



- spifhash_jenkinsLE@Base 0.7
+#MISSING: 0.7-5# spifhash_jenkinsLE@Base 0.7


Looking at the source code spifhash_jenkinsLE is only defined on 
little-endian systems.



+ spiftool_regexp_match@Base 0.7-5
+ spiftool_regexp_match_r@Base 0.7-5


These two OTOH are defined everywhere and I don't understand why they 
weren't included in the symbols file. Even lintian loudly complains:


E: libast2: symbols-file-contains-current-version-with-debian-revision on 
symbol spiftool_regexp_match@Base and 1 others
N: 
N:Debian revisions should be stripped from versions in symbols files. Not

N:doing so leads to dependencies unsatisfiable by backports (1.0-1~bpo 
N:1.0-1 while 1.0-1~bpo = 1.0). If the debian revision can't be stripped
N:because the symbol really appeared between two specific Debian
N:revisions, you should postfix the version with a single ~ (example:
N:1.0-3~ if the symbol appeared in 1.0-3).
N:
N:This problem normally means that the symbols were added automatically by

N:dpkg-gensymbols. dpkg-gensymbols uses the full version number for the
N:dependency associated to any new symbol that it detects. The maintainer
N:must update the debian/package.symbols file by adding the new symbols
N:with the corresponding upstream version.
N:
N:Severity: important, Certainty: certain
N:
N:Check: shared-libs, Type: binary, udeb
