Source: libu2f-host Version: 1.1.10-4 Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: cross-satisfiability ftcbfs
libu2f-host fails to cross build from source for two distinct reason. One aspect is its build dependency on the host architecture Python interpreter. That package is not available, because it fails postinst for foreign architectures. I checked the source code and it is no longer mentioned anywhere. This has become an unused dependency and can be dropped with no replacement. The other aspect is the gtk-doc scanner. It fails in a cross build. Fortunately, the documentation is separated to an Arch:all package, so running it is not exactly required. Disabling gtk-doc in an arch-only build is perfectly fine. I used reproducible builds to verify that the proposed changes do not affect output artifacts of a native amd64 build. Please consider applying the attached patch. Note that gtk-doc-tools usually cannot be moved to Build-Depends-Indep, because autoreconf uses its files. Helmut
