Package: libdpkg-perl Version: 1.18.4 The Meson package is running debtests that compile a test project separately with gcc and clang. This has started failing with an error message from libdpkg-perl. The full log is here:
https://ci.debian.net/data/packages/unstable/amd64/m/meson/20160218_083321.autopkgtest.log.gz The log shows that Meson's test runs successfully but something prints this: Can't exec "gcc": No such file or directory at /usr/share/perl5/Dpkg/Arch.pm line 126. dpkg-architecture: warning: cannot determine CC system type, falling back to default (native compilation) It seems that libdpkg-perl gets confused by the fact that clang is installed on the system but gcc is not and prints a warning to stderr. This causes Debian's test runner to flag the test as a failure even though the actual test passes. I don't know what calls into libdpkg-perl or why, the test itself does not do that. It seems like libdpkg-perl should be able to handle a missing gcc and fall back to using clang instead. Thanks,
