Bug#1016332: librsb: FTBFS: gmake[3]: *** [Makefile:920: qtests] Error 1

[Michele Martone]

Hi Rafael,

latex is not able to compile a rsbtest-generated
file looking like the one I attach.
The problematic line is:

 \usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}

and there are two alternative fixes to be applied before autoreconf:

Patch suggestion 1:
 sed  's/utf8x//g' -i rsbtest/rsbtest.cpp

Patch suggestion 2:
 sed  's/..LATEX./false/g' -i rsbtest/Makefile.am

I suggest to use 1, and if you confirm it works, I'd also use
it upstream.

Is it effective?

Ciao,
Michele
