Package: debian-xcontrol Severity: serious Version: 0.0.4-1 Justification: FTBFS against current libapt-pkg
debian-xcontrol is currently uninstallable as it's linked against an older version of libapt-pkg. A simple rebuild fails because of several issues. One of them is already reported in http://bugs.debian.org/560669. But even if the build-dependencies are fixed as reported in #560669, it still FTBFS because of -Werror aborts on libapt-pkg's deprecation warnings: x86_64-linux-gnu-g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I../include -W -Wall -Werror -g -O2 -MT xdpkg-checkbuilddeps.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/xdpkg-checkbuilddeps.Tpo -c -o xdpkg-checkbuilddeps.o xdpkg-checkbuilddeps.cpp cc1plus: warnings being treated as errors xdpkg-checkbuilddeps.cpp: In function 'int main(int, const char* const*)': xdpkg-checkbuilddeps.cpp:108: error: 'bool pkgCacheFile::Open(OpProgress&, const bool&)' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/apt-pkg/cachefile.h:59) make[3]: *** [xdpkg-checkbuilddeps.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/abe/debian/debian-xcontrol-0.0.4/src' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/abe/debian/debian-xcontrol-0.0.4' make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/abe/debian/debian-xcontrol-0.0.4' make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2 This can be resolved by removing the -Werror from CXXFLAGS in debian/rules. A better solution would be of course to fix the deprecation warning upstream. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (600, 'testing'), (500, 'oldstable'), (400, 'stable'), (110, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
