Bug#1128112: bobdude: FTBFS with boost 1.90

[gladk at debian.org]

Package: src:bobdude
Version: 1.5.0+svn75-1
Severity: important
Tags: sid forky ftbfs
User: debian-devel at lists.debian.org
Usertags: boost1.90

bobdude FTBFS with boost 1.90. Note that the FTBFS may not necessarily be
connected to boost - please check the build log for the actual cause.

Ubuntu has started the rebuild and the status can be tracked here:
https://transitions.ubuntu.com/html/boost1.90.html#!good,bad,partial,unknown,!notintesting
Thanks to them. Please find your package there, after that you can see the logs from
the failing build.

Note: This ticket severity will be increased to RC bug when
boost-defaults is switched to 1.90.

Additional information: The boost system library was removed upstream in 1.89 and is empty since 1.69.
If your package depends on or build-depends on libboost-system-dev, remove it from
build-depends and the build system. See https://www.boost.org/releases/1.89.0/ for cmake instructions.

Note that libboost-system-dev is "virtually" provided by libboost-dev_1.90,
but it is better to drop it from build-depends as this will be removed in the future.


Here is the most probably relevant part of the failing build log:


checking for boostlib >= 1.66 (106600)... yes
checking whether the Boost::System library is available... yes
configure: error: Could not find a version of the library!
tail -v -n \+0 config.log
==> config.log <==
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by BobDude configure 1.5.0, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.72.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure --build=x86_64-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr '--includedir=${prefix}/include' '--mandir=${prefix}/share/man' '--infodir=${prefix}/share/info' --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --disable-option-checking --disable-silent-rules '--libdir=${prefix}/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu' --runstatedir=/run --disable-maintainer-mode --disable-dependency-tracking



Thanks,
