Source: birdfont
Version: 0.47-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
Control: fixed -1 1.7-1

Hi,

The version of your package currently in testing (0.47-1) fails to build in
a jessie chroot:

I managed to build the version currently in unstable (1.7-1)
successfully however, so I've marked the bug fixed in that version.

Thanks,
