[Shane McDonald]

Thanks for the bug report and patch.  I've come up with an alternate patch
that only affects the utils/ directory.  This patch will show up in my
next upload in the next few days (currently on mentors.debian.net).

Bug#992914: libassa: FTBFS due to RPC removal from glibc

[Aurelien Jarno]

Source: libassa
Version: 3.5.1-7
Severity: serious
Tags: patch ftbfs
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

The glibc SunRPC implementation has been marked obsolete for some time.
It has been removed upstream from glibc 2.32, and it got disabled in the
recent glibc uploads. The TI RPC implementation should be used instead.

libassa was already supposed to use libtirpc, but in practice was still
linked to glibc due a missing entry in Makefile.am. Please find attach a
patch fixing the FTBFS.
