Bug#1065181: liblxi: missing build-dep on libtirpc-dev

[Aurelien Jarno]

Source: liblxi
Version: 1.20-1
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
User: debian-glibc at lists.debian.org
Usertags: libtirpc-dev

Dear maintainer,

Starting with glibc 2.31, support for NIS (libnsl library) has been
moved to a separate libnsl2 package. In order to allow a smooth
transition, a libnsl-dev, which depends on libtirpc-dev, has been added
to the libc6-dev package.

The libnsl-dev dependency has been temporarily dropped in the 2.37-15.1
NMU, as part of the 64-bit time_t transition. This causes liblxi to FTBFS
in sid with:

| Found pkg-config: /usr/bin/pkg-config (1.8.1)
| Run-time dependency avahi-client found: YES 0.8
| Run-time dependency libxml-2.0 found: YES 2.9.14
| Run-time dependency threads found: YES
| Has header "avahi-client/client.h" : YES
| Did not find CMake 'cmake'
| Found CMake: NO
| Run-time dependency libtirpc found: NO (tried pkgconfig)
| 
| ../src/meson.build:30:14: ERROR: Dependency "libtirpc" not found, tried pkgconfig
| 
| A full log can be found at /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/meson-logs/meson-log.txt
|         cd obj-x86_64-linux-gnu && tail -v -n \+0 meson-logs/meson-log.txt

This could be fixed by adding an explicit Build-Depends on libtirpc-dev.
The glibc change will likely be reverted in the short term, but given
its a change we want to do for Trixie, this will only lower the severity
of the bug.

Regards
Aurelien
