Package: check Version: 0.9.2-3 Severity: minor Hello,
thanks for packaging check. Problem is this: some code that I had and used to work, suddendly stopped linking, most probably after an update in the last two weeks. This is the error: cc -g -Wall -O2 -Wall -o .libs/check_crex check_crex.o -lcheck ../crex/.libs/libcrex.so check_crex.o(.text+0x1daa): In function `main': /home/enrico/lavori/arpa/libcrex/tests/check_crex.c:344: undefined reference to `suite_free' And indeed the suite_free symbol in the library is now local: $ objdump -t /usr/lib/libcheck.a|grep suite 00000040 l F .text 00000066 suite_free 00000000 g F .text 0000003f suite_create 00000210 g F .text 00000022 suite_add_tcase 000005f0 g F .text 00000011 srunner_add_suite 00000160 g F .text 00000025 log_suite_start 00000190 g F .text 00000025 log_suite_end 000000b0 l F .text 000000ae srunner_iterate_suites 00000000 *UND* 00000000 log_suite_start 00000000 *UND* 00000000 log_suite_end I found a mention about this in the NEWS file: Mon, May 17, 2004: Released Check 0.9.0 Run fixture teardowns in reverse order to setup Plugged some memory leaks. Added test name to log outputs. Applied patch (802160) for distcheck bug (579604). Fixed log printouts for nofork mode. Updated documentation and converted to DocBook. Added a new print mode, CK_ENV, that gets the print mode from the environment variable CK_VERBOSITY. Made tcase_free and suite_free static. This may break existing test programs. Everything is now freed when srunner_free is called. I'm suggesting you put a notice about this source incompatibility in README.Debian or NEWS.Debian, as it could be useful to people upgrading and it is a possible cause of FTBFS bugs.
