[Debian-zh-dev] Bug#917845: fortune-zh: FTBFS - needs build dependency on python3

[Logan Rosen]

Package: fortune-zh
Version: 2.90
Severity: serious
Tags: patch ftbfs
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu disco ubuntu-patch

Dear Maintainer,

fortune-zh currently fails to build from source in a clean environment
because it requires the python3 binary but does not build-depend on the
python3 package. You can see an example failure here [1] (I was able to
reproduce this locally in a sid chroot as well).

In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

  * Build-depend on python3 to fix FTBFS.

Thanks for considering the patch.

Logan Rosen
