[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#741839: refdb: FTBFS: readln.h:27:3: error: unknown type name 'Function'

[David Suárez]

Source: refdb
Version: 1.0.2-1
Severity: serious
Tags: jessie sid
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: qa-ftbfs-20140315 qa-ftbfs
Justification: FTBFS on amd64

Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build on
amd64.

On new readline versions old-style function typedefs have been deprecated.

Relevant part (hopefully):

About the archive rebuild: The rebuild was done on EC2 VM instances from
Amazon Web Services, using a clean, minimal and up-to-date chroot. Every
failed build was retried once to eliminate random failures.
