Bug#979134: apertium-anaphora: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Hi Tino,

> How does it vary? $BASH is set by AC_PATH_PROG(BASH, bash, no) at

It varies as follows:

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/apertium-anaphora.html

… although that doesn't really answer the question. I wonder if it is
(reverse?) resolving symlinks? I'm afraid I didn't poke deep into it
enough...

Ah, interesting. Sounds like this should work.


Best wishes,
