Source: python-systemd Version: 235-1 Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: cross-satisfiability ftcbfs Control: affects 1121810 + src:python-systemd
python-systemd fails to cross build from source for three distinct reasons. For one thing, it Build-Depends on python3-all-dev, which implies the host architecture interpreter and cannot be installed. Python extensions should depend on libpython3-all-dev and python3-all-dev:native. Once that is addressed, it runs into #1121810 and ignoring that setup.py defaults to using the build architecture pkg-config. The build system is prepared to honour the PKG_CONFIG environment variable, but the pybuild debhelper buildsystem does not export it. An easy way is deferring that task to dpkg's buildtools.mk. I'm attaching a patch for your convenience. Helmut
