[Pkg-ayatana-devel] Bug#902525: xorg-gtest: FTBFS in buster/sid (failing tests)

[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:xorg-gtest
Version: 0.7.1-3
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package in buster with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
but it failed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
 debian/rules build-indep
dh build-indep --with autoreconf
   dh_update_autotools_config -i
   dh_autoreconf -i
examples/Makefile.am:35: warning: source file '$(top_srcdir)/gtest/src/gtest-all.cc' is in a subdirectory,
examples/Makefile.am:35: but option 'subdir-objects' is disabled
automake: warning: possible forward-incompatibility.
automake: At least a source file is in a subdirectory, but the 'subdir-objects'
automake: automake option hasn't been enabled.  For now, the corresponding output
automake: object file(s) will be placed in the top-level directory.  However,
automake: this behaviour will change in future Automake versions: they will
automake: unconditionally cause object files to be placed in the same subdirectory
automake: of the corresponding sources.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The above is how the build ends in my autobuilder and it's not
necessarily the relevant part.

The failure is not, however, related to using dpkg-buildpackage -A,
as it also fails in reproducible builds:

https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/xorg-gtest.html

If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use reassign and affects,
so that this is still visible in the page for this package.

Thanks.
