It looks like libfte-dev before 1.4 was merely unusable because the mentioned file - libfdt_env.h - is included by the main libfdt.h too, even in version 1.3, so if libfdt_env.h is missing, libfdt-dev is simply unusable. At least that's what it was on debian, see http://bugs.debian.org/706137 . So I think it is not qemu who should depend on >=1.4 libfdt-dev, but qemu should depend on _working_ libfdt- dev.
BTW, how this bug is related to CVE-2013-4377? ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #706137 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=706137 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1295072 Title: qemu 1.7 should build-depend on libfdt-dev higher than 1.4.0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1295072/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
