Bug#982559: xscorch Build-Depends on libreadline-gplv2-dev which has been removed
I would thus propose simply dropping the build-dependency, a debdiff doing that is attached, I may or may not NMU it later. I have gone ahead with the NMU, final debdiff is attatched. diff -Nru xscorch-0.2.1/debian/changelog xscorch-0.2.1/debian/changelog --- xscorch-0.2.1/debian/changelog 2020-09-12 08:10:17.0 +0100 +++ xscorch-0.2.1/debian/changelog 2021-02-18 20:50:52.0 + @@ -1,3 +1,11 @@ +xscorch (0.2.1-1+nmu6) unstable; urgency=medium + + * Non-maintainer upload. + * Remove build-dependency on libreadline-gplv2-dev +(Closes: 982559) + + -- Peter Michael Green Thu, 18 Feb 2021 20:50:52 + + xscorch (0.2.1-1+nmu5) unstable; urgency=medium * Non-maintainer upload. diff -Nru xscorch-0.2.1/debian/control xscorch-0.2.1/debian/control --- xscorch-0.2.1/debian/control2020-07-02 15:45:01.0 +0100 +++ xscorch-0.2.1/debian/control2021-02-18 20:48:27.0 + @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ Homepage: http://www.xscorch.org/ Maintainer: Jacob Luna Lundberg Standards-Version: 3.9.2 -Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7), groff, libglib2.0-dev, libgtk2.0-dev (>= 2.20), libmikmod-dev, libreadline-gplv2-dev | libreadline5-dev, libx11-dev, libxext-dev, libxi-dev, autotools-dev +Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7), groff, libglib2.0-dev, libgtk2.0-dev (>= 2.20), libmikmod-dev, libx11-dev, libxext-dev, libxi-dev, autotools-dev Package: xscorch Architecture: any

tags 982559 +patch thanks Taking a poke through the source it seems there is a bunch of logic in the build system to detect if readline is available, but I can't find any evidence of any code actually using readline. After removing the build-dependency I can successfully build xscorch in an environment with no readline development packages installed. I would thus propose simply dropping the build-dependency, a debdiff doing that is attached, I may or may not NMU it later. diff -Nru xscorch-0.2.1/debian/changelog xscorch-0.2.1/debian/changelog --- xscorch-0.2.1/debian/changelog 2020-08-05 04:00:19.0 + +++ xscorch-0.2.1/debian/changelog 2021-02-11 21:53:35.0 + @@ -1,3 +1,10 @@ +xscorch (0.2.1-1+nmu5) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium + + * Non-maintainer upload. + * Remove build-dependency on libreadline-gplv2-dev + + -- Peter Michael Green Thu, 11 Feb 2021 21:53:35 + + xscorch (0.2.1-1+nmu4) unstable; urgency=medium * Non-maintainer upload. diff -Nru xscorch-0.2.1/debian/control xscorch-0.2.1/debian/control --- xscorch-0.2.1/debian/control2020-07-02 14:45:01.0 + +++ xscorch-0.2.1/debian/control2021-02-11 21:53:35.0 + @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ Homepage: http://www.xscorch.org/ Maintainer: Jacob Luna Lundberg Standards-Version: 3.9.2 -Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7), groff, libglib2.0-dev, libgtk2.0-dev (>= 2.20), libmikmod-dev, libreadline-gplv2-dev | libreadline5-dev, libx11-dev, libxext-dev, libxi-dev, autotools-dev +Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7), groff, libglib2.0-dev, libgtk2.0-dev (>= 2.20), libmikmod-dev, libx11-dev, libxext-dev, libxi-dev, autotools-dev Package: xscorch Architecture: any

Package: xscorch Version: 0.2.1-1+nmu5 Severity: serious Justification: FTBFS User: trei...@debian.org Usertags: edos-uninstallable Hi, libreadline-gplv2-dev has been removed from unstable [1]. Don't ask me how that is possible as your package still Build-Depends on it, but it happened. Please fix your package somehow, alternatives seem to be around.
