[Debichem-devel] Bug#731064: Bug#731064: libpwiz: FTBFS on ia64 mips mipsel s390x

[Filippo Rusconi]

tag 731064 + fixed pending
thanks

Greetings, Aurélien and Julien. Thanks for helping in this matter.

I have successfully rebuilt the package using the patch provided by
Aurélien. I have also sent an email to upstream asking to check to
which extent they still need to include the boost_aux "convenience"
source code in the source tarball.

Anyhow, I'll upload the package real soon now, *closing* this bug. If
it is not advisable to do so, please tell. Thanks again.

Ciao
Filippo
