Hi,

In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

  * lib/output.c: Fix FTBFS against glibc 2.32 by using strerror() instead of
removed sys_nerr and sys_errlist.

Thanks for considering the patch.

Hello,

Version 2.32 of glibc will not ship the sys_nerr and sys_errlist symbols any
more.  This package is using them, so will start FTBFS when we upload version
2.32 of glibc.
