Bug#874301: libgtop2: FTBFS on kFreeBSD: strlcpy undefined

Mon Sep 4 19:57:23 UTC 2017

Source: libgtop2
Version: 2.37.90-2
Severity: important
Tags: upstream
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

Builds of libgtop2 for kfreebsd-amd64 and kfreebsd-i386 (not release
architectures, admittedly) have been failing:

  ./sysdeps/freebsd/netload.c:109: undefined reference to `strlcpy'
  ./sysdeps/freebsd/netload.c:122: undefined reference to `strlcpy'

strlcpy may be part of FreeBSD's libc, but GNU libc (as used by
kFreeBSD leaves it out); please either substitute a different
function, supply a fallback definition, or build against libbsd-dev.

Thanks!

FTR, hurd-i386 isn't a release architecture either; sorry for
neglecting to note that in #847294.
