[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#894019: ftools-fv: make distclean deletes tcltk/pow/pkgIndex.tcl which is not regenerated

[Andreas Beckmann]

Source: ftools-fv
Version: 5.4+dfsg-3~exp
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

Hi,

ftools-fv FTBFS twice in a row. The first build succeeds, but the
subsequent debian/rules clean causes tcltk/pow/pkgIndex.tcl to be
deleted, which is not regenerated during the second build.

>From the attached logfile:

[first build skipped]

I also noticed this error while the package is configured:

checking for gethostbyname... ./configure: line 1514: ac_fn_c_try_link: command not found
no

looks like an error in some autotools scripts ...
