Hi all, we have another unwelcome message: libtool (2.4.2-1.11) unstable; urgency=medium * Non-maintainer upload. * Drop libtool's dependency on libtool-bin. * Add libtool-bin dependency on libtool. * Make libtool Multi-Arch: foreign. Closes: #682045. * Bump standards version to 3.9.6. -- Matthias Klose <doko@.........> Tue, 14 Oct 2014 19:21:11 +0200 This means that the packages that need to building libtool will need to have a set to variant dependency: "libtool-bin | libtool". I suggest to wait for a change in tde-packaging before we know what all packages will be affected. Now I ran into this problem with pytdeextensions and bibletime. We will see what will follow. We'll see whether it will be appropriate to wait for the change after RC1. -- Slávek

Thanks for the heads up. RC1 will *not* support Debian Jessie due to this change, but we will try to make R14 support Debian Jessie as of its release. This is incidentally why I don't like tracking unstable distros. I know many users want to use Jessie (due to the age of the packages in Wheezy) but it's constantly being broken and we simply don't have the finances to rebuild the packages over and over and over again. :-( As an aside, please refrain from uploading any new packages to QuickBuild at this time. After the RC1 builds are complete I will be taking it offline for long-overdue scheduled maintenance lasting one or two days. Tim

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. Cheers Michele

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. Tim

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
