Bug#897179: FTBFS: A build dependency is lacking: appstream-util (>= 0.7.7)

[jean-christophe manciot]

I pull the sources within the sid chroot from
https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/gimp.
You can try yourself to build gimp from an up-to-date sid chroot
without appstream-util pre-installed.
You will notice that it is not pulled by dpkg-checkbuilddeps and that the
build will consequently fail..
