[Pkg-freeipa-devel] Bug#1065160: slapi-nis: FTBFS: missing build-dep on libnsl-dev

[Aurelien Jarno]

Source: slapi-nis
Version: 0.60.0-1
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
User: debian-glibc at lists.debian.org
Usertags: libnsl-dev

Dear maintainer,

Starting with glibc 2.31, support for NIS (libnsl library) has been
moved to a separate libnsl2 package. In order to allow a smooth
transition, a libnsl-dev has been added to the libc6-dev package.

This dependency has been temporarily dropped in the 2.37-15.1 NMU, as
part of the 64-bit time_t transition. This causes slapi-nis to FTBFS in
sid with:

This could be fixed by adding an explicit Build-Depends on libnsl-dev.
The glibc change will likely be reverted in the short term, but given
its a change we want to do for Trixie, this will only lower the severity
of the bug.
