Package: tightvnc Version: 1.3.9-6.4 Severity: important
Tightvnc FTBFS on arm64, the cause is some missing logic in the build system to deal with it. (the build system in question seems to need to know about each architecture explicitly). Ubuntu has had a fix for some time* and I just took their fix, cleaned it up for debian (changelog tweaks, removing their maintainer changes) and checked it was buildable on debian arm64. A debdiff is attatched.
We are desperately trying to get arm64 up to release status and the lack of this package is making stuff uninstallable in arm64 testing, so a prompt upload would be appreciated. If there is no maintainer response a NMU will most likely follow. If you have any objections to this patch please raise them now.
* They also have a new upstream release but uploading new upstream releases is not appropriate at this point in the release cycle.
