Bug#657284: systemd: FTBFS - should Build-Depend on automake
Package: systemd Version: 37-1 Severity: important When I try to build systemd without automake installed the build aborts with some errors related to autoconf macros. When I have installeed automake (but made no other changes to the build system) then it builds correctly. I believe that it should have a Build-Depends on automake. Also after the build has aborted due to automake not being installed the source tree is corrupted and a second build won't succeed. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages systemd depends on: ii initscripts 2.88dsf-18 ii libacl1 2.2.51-5 ii libaudit0 2.1.3-1 ii libc6 2.13-24 ii libcap2 1:2.22-1 ii libcryptsetup1 2:1.3.0-3.1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.4.16-1 ii libpam0g1.1.3-6 ii libselinux1 2.1.0-4 ii libsystemd-daemon0 37-1 ii libsystemd-login0 37-1 ii libudev0175-3 ii libwrap07.6.q-22 ii udev175-3 ii util-linux 2.20.1-1.2 Versions of packages systemd recommends: pn libpam-systemd none Versions of packages systemd suggests: pn python 2.7.2-9 pn systemd-gui none -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

The package depends on dh-autoreconf (since we use the autoreconf dh addon). dh-autoreconf has a depends on automake | automaken. So a automake version should be installed. So I guess the thing that has happened is, that your automake version was too old. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

So a automake version should be installed. So I guess the thing that has happened is, that your automake version was too old. automake1.10 provides automaken, satisfies the build-dependency on my system, and fails to build systemd. According to aptitude automaken is provided by automake1.7, automake1.9, automake1.10, and automake (version 1.11). If automake1.10 is too old then nothing other than automake (version 1.11) will work and thus for Wheezy the build-depends should have automaken removed as there is no possibility of the virtual package automaken providing a successful build unless it's provided by automake. Anyway build dependencies can be versioned, so there is no reason for a build to fail part way through because of an old version of a package. You just need a build-depends line that requires the correct version. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Bloghttp://doc.coker.com.au/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

My point actually was to clarify, that it is about having a versioned build-depends and not simply an explicit build-depends. According to configure.ac we require automake = 1.11. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

According to configure.ac we require automake = 1.11. True, but AFAIK versioned depenencies on virtual packages don't work so that still leaves us with a dependency on only automake. As it's been 2.5 years since the last automake package with a version less than 11 it seems quite unlikely that anyone who has such a package installed will be trying to build systemd. But a versioned dependency is still a good thing. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Bloghttp://doc.coker.com.au/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
