Source: harfbuzz Severity: important Control: block 939500 by -1 Dear Maintainer,
The harfbuzz package fails to build from source when built using gtk-doc-tools 1.32 (currently available in experimental). The problem seems to be that harfbuzz uses python(2) during build, but relies on gtk-doc-tools to pull in python. (The newer gtk-doc-tools version in experimental has been fully ported to python3 and no longer pulls in python(2).) The simplest solution might be to just add python (or python:any) to build-dependencies, but please also note that python2 will be removed during bullseye so solving this issue by porting to python3 would be preferable. Regards, Andreas Henriksson
