Package: netcat-traditional
Version: 1.10-40
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
The source package `netcat-traditional' does not build, make dies this way:
$ make linux
make -e nc XFLAGS='-DLINUX' STATIC=-static
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/build/netcat-1.10'
gcc -O -DLINUX -static -o nc netcat.c
netcat.c: In function 'helpme':
netcat.c:1797:16: error: expected ')' before 'DEBIAN_VERSION'
make[1]: *** [nc] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/build/netcat-1.10'
make: *** [linux] Error 2
I am not very familiar with the Debian package build process. In debian/rules
a DFLAGS='... -DDEBIAN_VERSION...' is used, if I try that one, the error ist
the same:
$ make linux DFLAGS='-DDEBIAN_VERSION="foo"'
...
netcat.c: In function 'helpme':
netcat.c:1783:3: error: expected ')' before 'foo'
...
So maybe DEBIAN_VERSION usually contains some magic to concatenate the strings
with the constant (rather not), or this patch is broken.
Cheers,
