Bug#763909: Bug#767919: unblock: viewmol/2.4.1-21

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Graham,

the solution you are proposing in

   https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=763909#36

is most probably sensible and I'd happily apply it future revisions.
However, as Niels wrote below the changes are conflicting with the
freeze policy.  As far as I understand the clean target does not work
with your patch.  Do you see a chance to skip the getmachine call in the
clean target which should be sufficient to work around the problem?

Kind regards

         Andreas.
