[Debian GNUstep maintainers] Bug#838278: gnustep-make: FTBFS in testing (@setcontentsaftertitlepage no longer works)

[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:gnustep-make
Version: 2.6.8-2
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package in stretch with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(which is what the "Arch: all" autobuilder would do to build it)
but it failed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
./gnustep-howto.texi:8: @setcontentsaftertitlepage has been removed as a Texinf
o command; move your @contents command if you want the contents after the title
 page..
@setcontentsaftertitlepage ...ter the title page.}
                                                  
l.8 @setcontentsaftertitlepage

The relevant part of the build is included.

In addition to this, the build continues after this TeX failure, and
the target which fails is really binary-indep. That should not really
happen. If the build fails, it's the build-indep target the one that
should fail.

Thanks.
