Bug#962804: wfmath: autopkgtest failure: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the bug report. I'd noticed the error on DDPO but hadn't had
time to investigate.

Hmm, is build-essential not automatically installed in the CI environment?
That seems to be the most likely reason for this failure. I assumed that
all packages (e.g. build-essential) that we assume to be present for
packaging would be present here as well. Is that not the case? If so, this
will likely be a very easy fix.
