Source: pchar Version: 1.5-6 Severity: serious Justification: missing source Tags: trixie forky sid User: [email protected] Usertags: ftcbfs
pchar fails to cross build from source, because it misdetects the C++ compiler and once we force that, it fails to compute sizeof(bool). This is a problem in autoconf that has been about fixed 15 years ago. The configure script used autoconf version 2.13, which is not part of trixie nor forky. Therefore, pchar misses source code for the generated file configure in those releases. Please regenerate configure with a more recent autoconf version. Alternatively, enable autoreconf and do so during every build as this is now the standard procedutre. Doing so will very likely also fix the compiler and sizeof detection. Failing that, a method of last resort is adding autoconf2.13 to Build-Depends (even when not using it) just to ensure that autoconf2.13 is present in the same suite. Then, pchar will be autoreomoved from forky. Helmut
