[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1060104: dcmtk: FTBFS on armel: Error: bad immediate value for offset (4100)

[Jörg Riesmeier]

Dear all,

> Indeed, and there is a simple fix too, which has been uploaded to
> experimental only so far:

yes, there is a simple fix (that disables the error), but there is also a more fundamental fix that (hopefully) solves the issue at its core:

    https://git.dcmtk.org/?p=dcmtk.git;a=commit;h=bdc18c85b7fca130464dd745ea3efef3c9b8b94e

Furthermore, it feels kind of strange that the DCMTK package was about to be removed because a rather insignificant test tool causes problems on a single platform, and this test tool is even not part of any Debian package (see "debian/rules" file):

    override_dh_install-arch:
    [...]
            #remove test binaries
    [...]
            rm ./debian/dcmtk/usr/bin/drttest
    [...]

Regards,
Jörg
