Because the SONAME was bumped a transition will be required, in preparation for which I've done a round of rebuilds. libgeo-proj4-perl & pdl FTBFS because they include projects.h conflicts with headers from Perl. After discussion this issue the typedefs in proj were prefixed with 'PJ_' which should resolve this issue. proj-rdnap doesn't actually FTBFS, the cs2cs commands from the test script cause 100% CPU usage but don't actually succeed. [1] Several packages FTBFS due to test failures: python-cartopy, survex, openorienteering-mapper (already reported in the BTS), postgis. node-mapnik also FTBFS, but this is due to mapnik-vector-tile 1.6.0. The packages that FTBFS are tracked with the proj-5.0 usertag: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=proj-5.0;users=debian-gis@lists.debian.org [0] https://github.com/OSGeo/proj.4/blob/master/NEWS [1] https://github.com/OSGeo/proj.4/issues/780 Transition: proj libproj12 (4.9.3-2) -> libproj13 (5.0.0~rc2-1~exp2) The status of the most recent rebuilds is as follows. gpx2shp (0.71.0-4) OK libgeo-proj4-perl (1.09-1) FTBFS (#889922) libgeotiff-dfsg (1.4.2-2) OK octave-octproj (1.1.5-2) OK ogdi-dfsg (3.2.0+ds-2) OK pdl (1:2.018-2) FTBFS (#889926) proj-rdnap (2008-6) FTBFS python-cartopy (0.14.2+dfsg1-2) FTBFS (#889931) python-pyproj (1.9.5.1-3) OK shapelib (1.4.1-1) OK sosi2osm (1.0.0-3) OK spatialite (4.3.0a-5) OK survex (1.2.32-1) FTBFS (#889936) zygrib (8.0.1+dfsg.1-1) OK gdal (2.2.3+dfsg-1) OK magics++ (3.0.0-1) OK pyspatialite (3.0.1-12) OK spatialite-gui (2.0.0~devel2-8) OK spatialite-tools (4.3.0-2) OK cdo (1.9.2+dfsg.1-6) OK dans-gdal-scripts (0.24-1) OK grass (7.4.0-1) OK libosmium (2.13.1-1) OK mapcache (1.6.1-1) OK mapnik (3.0.18+ds-1) OK mapserver (7.0.7-1) OK merkaartor (0.18.3+ds-2) OK metview (5.0.0~beta.1-1) OK ncl (6.4.0-4) OK openorienteering-mapper (0.7.0-1) FTBFS (#876934) pdal (1.6.0-1) OK postgis (2.4.3+dfsg-2) FTBFS (#889981) qlandkartegt (1.8.1+ds-8) OK qmapshack (1.10.0-1) OK saga (2.3.1+dfsg-3) OK sumo (0.32.0+dfsg1-1) OK thuban (1.2.2-12) OK vtk6 (6.3.0+dfsg1-11) OK xastir (2.0.8-3) OK ifrit (4.1.2-5) OK node-mapnik (3.6.2+dfsg-3) FTBFS (#889962) osm2pgsql (0.94.0+ds-1) OK python-mapnik (1:0.0~20170621-0cd7493f2-3) OK qgis (2.14.22+dfsg-2) OK therion (5.4.1ds1-1) OK Kind Regards, Bas
