Package: slidentd
Version: 1.0.0-6.1
Severity: serious
Tags: patch

Hi,

slidentd currently build-depends on the statically linked, dietlibc using
libowfat. Due to changes in libowfat packaging, slidentd FTBFS now.

The new version of libowfat in Debian sid (0.28-3) changes the binary
package(s): Previously, build-depending packages just used libowfat-dev while
now, we have the following package layout:

* libowfat-dietlibc-dev: Static version of dietlibc-linked lib
* libowfat-dev: Static version of glibc-linked lib and development files to
  build shared linkage with libowfat
* libowfat0: Shared version of glibc-linked lib

This is because Debian generally links with glibc where possible and provides
the respective static and shared versions of the libs. The (just statically
linked) dietlibc versions of the lib is now in libowfat-dietlibc-dev to make
that clear.

Suggested (simple, tested) change to slidentd:

Build-Depends: libowfat-dietlibc-dev
Build-Conflicts: libowfat-dev

Otherwise, you can also think about using the new glibc-linked version of
libowfat, shared variant preferred (which would make library updates in Debian
easier).

bye,
  Roland
