2007-08-28 Packages failing because of missing camlp4o
Quite some packages fail because camlp4 has been moved from ocaml-nox's Build-Depends to Recommends. The Ocaml team has tightened their Build-Depends and wants the Packages B-D on caml4p directly:
09:35 <abi> as of the recent rebuild sid/x86 about ~10 packages FTBFS because of missing camlp4o, do the packages have to Build-Depend on camlp4 or would it make more sense to move it from the Recommends to Depends in ocaml-nox
09:35 <abi> i just wonder if i should file the bug for the packages or ocaml-nox
09:36 <smimou> well I think that we should tighten our build-deps instead
09:37 <smimou> we have already started doing this
09:37 <abi> ok, so im going to file the bugs against the packages rather than ocaml-nox?
09:37 <smimou> yes, please
09:38 <smimou> camlp4 is quite a big package so I'd rather avoid ocaml depending on it
2007-09-12 Packages failing due to undetected libdb
[http://bugs.debian.org/441763 #441763] (libdb4.2): “libdb-4.2.so must link against libpthread”
[http://bugs.debian.org/441870 #441870] (libdb4.3-dev): “libdb.so must link against libpthread”.
Please block those FTBFSes with the appropriate libdb bug. -- CyrilBrulebois
2007-09-14 Packages failing to build with ecj-gcj due to missing java.lang.object
[http://bugs.debian.org/441660 #441660] tex4ht: FTBFS: The type java.lang.Object cannot be resolved
Somewhere between 3.3.0+0728-1 and 3.3.0+0728-4 "ecj" dropped its dependency on gij which was used to build it. Packages should build fine with 3.3.0+0728-5 upwards. -- KapilHariParanjape
2007-09-17 Packages failing to build cause of "called object 'major' is not a function"
nfs-utils fixed it this way (#442122, from 09-define-major-minor.patch):
#ifndef major # define major(dev) gnu_dev_major (dev) #endif #ifndef minor # define minor(dev) gnu_dev_minor (dev) #endif [..]
2007-09-29 Packages failing to build with GTK+ 2.12 (symbol errors on GTK_TOOLTIPS, gtk_widget_unref and more)
GTK+ 2.12 deprecated a bunch of API and packages that define GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED now fail to build. Easy solution is to remove GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED from CFLAGS; better solution is to port to newer API (upstream may already have done it).
2007-12-01 Package failing with dpkg-shlibdeps "failure: something" messages
Check the dpkg-shlibdeps man page in dpkg-dev 1.14.12, it contains explanations of those new failures and suggestion on how to fix them.
2008-01-03 Failures with dash as /bin/sh
Ubuntu has been using dash as /bin/sh since Ubuntu edgy (released in october 2006). There's a nice page at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh giving some advice.
2008-04-13 Failures with dpkg-dev 1.14.18
dpkg now sets default values for CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, etc (see dpkg-buildpackage(1)). This can break some build scripts that don't deal with those variables nicely.
2008-05-25 ld: cannot find -ldts
This happens compiling multimedia packages with gcc 4.3. To avoid it, add libdts-dev to the Build-Depends in debian/control. This package contains the headers and static libraries used to build applications that use libdts (-ldts).
