[Debichem-devel] Bug#843464: jmol: FTBFS (RawPacketWriter() has private access in RawPacketWriter)

[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:jmol
Version: 12.2.32+dfsg2-1
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package in stretch with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(which is what the "Arch: all" autobuilder would do to build it)
but it failed:
