Source: gdbm Version: 1.8.3-12 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch
In the process of bootstrapping Debian, one needs to be able to build gdbm fairly early: debhelper Depends on man-db, which Build-Depends on libgdbm-dev. On the other hand, texinfo is somewhat heavier in terms of what dependencies it needs. So, the attached patch makes it possible to do a bootstrap build of gdbm without texinfo available. -- Daniel Schepler
