Source: blockattack

Severity: important

Control: affects -1 src:fmtlib

blockattack 2.10.0-1 fails to build in sid on arm64 with fmtlib
12.2.0+ds1-2 from experimental during the fmtlib transition rebuild:
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-fmtlib.html
To reproduce, rebuild the unmodified source in a clean sid build environment
with libfmt-dev and libfmt12 12.2.0+ds1-2 from experimental installed.
No rebuilt spdlog dependency is needed for blockattack.
fmt 12.2's fmt/core.h includes base.h rather than format.h by default:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fmtlib/fmt/12.2.0/include/fmt/core.h
source/code/ScoresDisplay.cpp includes <fmt/core.h> but calls fmt::format.
It needs <fmt/format.h> explicitly; similar errors occur in other source
files. This identifies the observed compilation failure, not a verified
complete fix; no consumer source changes were made in this rebuild.
Relevant build-log excerpt:
/build/reproducible-path/blockattack-2.10.0/source/code/ScoresDisplay.cpp:194:46: error: ‘format’ is not a member of ‘fmt’
194 | Write(globalData.screen, 10, y, fmt::format( _("Days: {}"), ct.days) );
| ^~~~~~
/build/reproducible-path/blockattack-2.10.0/source/code/ScoresDisplay.cpp:196:46: error: ‘format’ is not a member of ‘fmt’
196 | Write(globalData.screen, 10, y, fmt::format( _("Hours: {:02}"), ct.hours) );
| ^~~~~~
The full build log is attached.
