Bug#1016898: dolfin needs a rebuild against glibc 2.34

Source: dolfin
Version: 2019.2.0~git20220407.d29e24d-5
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer,

glibc 2.34 has merged a few libraries (libpthread, libdl, libutil,
libanl) into libc. While this is handled transparently at runtime, there
are a few corner cases at build time. In the case of dolfin, the file
usr/share/dolfin/cmake/DOLFINTargets.cmake files embed the path to
libdl.so which doesn't exist anymore.

dolfin has been binNMUed as part of the transition [1], however we later
realised that the above file is actually in the libdolfin-dev-common
package which is binary all. Therefore a source upload is necessary.

Could you please schedule one? There should be no change needed besides
adding a build-depends on libc-dev (>= 2.34) to ensure it is built
against glibc 2.34 (not all chroots have been upgraded yet).

Thanks,
Aurelien
