Source: mkvtoolnix Version: 40.0.0-1 Severity: important Tags: fixed-upstream User: debian-cr...@lists.debian.org Usertags: ftcbfs
mkvtoolnix fails to cross build from, source, because it uses a broken, outdated, embedded copy of AX_BOOST_BASE from ac/ax_boost_base.m4. The debian policy discourages uses of embedded code copies. The actual bug is already fixed in the autoconf-archive. See #872256 for details. Please remove the emebdded copy and use the fixed version from autoconf-archive instead. Alternatively, update your copy and register it with the security.tracker. See https://wiki.debian.org/EmbeddedCodeCopies. This bug report comes without a patch, because the bug is already fixed. mkvtoolnix just happens to ship a copy of the bug. Helmut
