Bug#980015: alberta: FTBFS due to missing link and include for tirpc library

[Tiago Stürmer Daitx]

Source: alberta
Version: 3.0.1-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

This package failed to rebuild in Ubuntu with "fatal error: rpc/type.h".
Sun RPC used to be included in glibc and now it must be added from
TI-RPC library (libtirpc-dev).

I was able to build it after adding a check lib in configure.ac right
before check headers for rpc/types.h
+AC_CHECK_LIB([tirpc],[rpc_call],,
+             [AC_MSG_ERROR([no tirpc library, exiting...!])])

and including the library in debian/rules
+export DEB_CFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND = -I/usr/include/tirpc

There might a better way to include that library directly in
configure.ac, but this is what worked for me.

Regards,
Tiago
