Control: affects -1 ghmm jellyfish link-grammar
Dear Maintainer,
A recent change to the package (commit c23225c5 [1]) seems to be causing FTBFS
for gmhh, jellyfish, an link-grammar, at least. These packages invoke
d-shlibmove in their debian/rules.
I believe that the culprit is this line in the d-devlibdeps script:
GFORTRAN_DEV=$(command -v gfortran > /dev/null 2>&1 \
&& echo "libgfortran-$(gfortran -dumpversion | cut -d. -f1)-dev")
Although the existence of the gfortran command is asserted (via the "command"
command), the script runs under "set -e" and the failure in the command
substitution above appears to cause the entire script to fail silently. I am
not 100% sure of this diagnosis, because d-shlibs scripts are too convoluted
for easy debugging.
In any case, the problem disappears when gfortran is installed.
Best,
Rafael Laboissière
