Package: liblouisutdml Version: 2.7.0-6 Tags: patch upstream User: helm...@debian.org Usertags: rebootstrap
liblouisutdml fails to cross build from source. The first reason for failing is that it uses the wrong pkg-config. Its configure.ac uses AC_PATH_PROG to detect the wrong pkg-config and a later call to PKG_CHECK_MODULES picks up the wrong value. PKG_CHECK_MODULES knows how to correctly detect pkg-config, so simply removing that line fixes this part. The next reason is that it checks for java headers using AC_CHECK_FILE. That's due to using a broken, outdated, embedded copy of ax_jni_include_dir.m4. The version in autoconf-archive in unstable is fixed meanwhile. Please remove this copy or update and register[1] it. Finally, it calls help2man. There is no silver bullet for fixing help2man issues, so let's skip that issue for now. Please close this bug when fixing the other two issues.
