Package: frog
Version: 0.12.20-1
Severity: serious
x-debbugs-cc: libfolia at packages.debian.org

Frog currently FTBFS in sid as can be seen from the recent binnmus for 
the ICU transition

I have been trying to get the ICU transition to go through in raspbian 
stretch. I first patched libfolia to get it building again, then our 
autobinnmuer rebuilt ucto, then it tried to rebuild frog.

Frog failed with a different error to in Debian, I strongly belive that 
the errors I saw in raspbian will affect Debian too and it is just 
masked at the monent by an earlier failure.

I belive that the failures Debian is currently seeing in frog and ucto 
are caused by building packages in the libfolia/ucto/frog depchain with 
a mixture of toolchains. Possiblly this should be handled as a library 
transition.

The first error I saw with frog in Raspbian was:

> ../include/frog/FrogAPI.h:38:34: fatal error: timblserver/FdStream.h: No such file or directory
>   #include "timblserver/FdStream.h"
It seems this header and another one included on the next line have 
moved to ticcutils/

I then got a load of errors that looked like namespace issues. Adding a 
bunch of "using namespace TiCC" and "using namespace Tagger" fixed those.

I have uploaded the fixes to raspbian, a debdiff should appear soon at 
https://debdiffs.raspbian.org/main/f/frog/frog_0.12.20-1+rpi1.debdiff
