[Lucas Nussbaum]

Source: imview
Version: 1.1.9c-8
Severity: serious
Tags: wheezy sid
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: qa-ftbfs-20120321 qa-ftbfs
Justification: FTBFS on amd64

Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build on
amd64.

Relevant part:
> /usr/bin/ld: imview.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.bss' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
> imview.o: could not read symbols: Bad value
> collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

The full build log is available from:
   http://people.debian.org/~lucas/logs/2012/03/21/imview_1.1.9c-8.log

A list of current common problems and possible solutions is available at 
http://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS . You're welcome to contribute!

About the archive rebuild: The rebuild was done on about 50 AMD64 nodes
of the Grid'5000 platform, using a clean chroot.  Internet was not
accessible from the build systems.
