I ran in the exact same problem during last night partial rebuild (everything without the "applications" part). Most of packages build anyway, so we can say that even though RC1 does not support Jessie 100%, we are probably not far away from there. Today I will run the remaining part, so by tomorrow I should be able to say exactly how many packages FTBFS due to the missing libtool (at the moment I found pytdeextensions, haven't rebuilt bibletime yet). IMO, if we end up with only two packages being the problem, we could also consider to fix them for RC1, provided that this does not trigger a "cascade rebuild" of several other packages on the build farm.

By the way, I forgot to say that Jessie will be frozen on Nov. 5, so after that it should be much more stable. Cheers Michele
Good! I appreciate the info.
Regarding rebuilds, if it's only a few packages affected we might be able to squeeze them into RC1. Bear in mind however that the build system will be going down for a long-overdue maintenance overhaul shortly, so the short-term focus should probably be on releasing and testing RC1 instead of making it work 100% on Jessie.

For info, I completed a full rebuild on Jessie. The packages FTBFS are:
- pytdeextensions, kvirc, due to libtool
- digikam, koffice, due to liblcms1-dev (bug 2152)
- tde-guidance, caused by the missing pytdeextensions
- bibletime, tdeio-sword: failed at "configure" time when compiling. May be
caused by libtool but haven't checked in detail - knetworkmanger8, a long time FTBFS package.
Not strictly necessary to fix them for RC1, but it wouldn't hurt if we can do that Cheers Michele
Great, I expected that it will have worse results.
Because the problem with split libtool involves only five small packages - bibletime, kvirc, pytdeextensions, tde-guidance and tdeio-sword, I pushed a patch into tde-packaging.
