Package: src:mxml Version: 2.11-1 Severity: serious Tags: ftbfs Dear maintainer:
I tried to build this package in buster but it failed: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [...] debian/rules build-arch dh build-arch dh_update_autotools_config -a dh_autoreconf -a dh_auto_configure -a ./configure --build=x86_64-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --includedir=\${prefix}/include --mandir=\${prefix}/share/man --infodir=\${prefix}/share/info --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --disable-silent-rules --libdir=\${prefix}/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu --libexecdir=\${prefix}/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu --disable-maintainer-mode --disable-dependency-tracking configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --disable-silent-rules, --disable-maintainer-mode, --disable-dependency-tracking checking build system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking for suffix of executables... checking whether we are cross compiling... no [... snipped ...] Compiling mmd.c Linking mxmldoc...

Most probably, it also fails here in reproducible builds: https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/mxml.html [ Note: There has been a recent change in debhelper behaviour, the current behaviour is the intended one. See Bug #903133 for details ]. Thanks.
