Package: avarice
Version: 2.4-2
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
avarice is linked with the shared version of libbfd, but the
binutils-dev says :
"Note that building Debian packages which depend on the shared libbfd is
Not Allowed."
This results in a broken package in current debian unstable :
$ avarice
avarice: error while loading shared libraries: libbfd-2.16.91.so: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
A fix for the problem is attached. The check for libbfd is from the Lush
project
(http://lush.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/lush/lush/configure.ac)
Remember to run autoreconf.
I've not reported this bug to upstream.
