[pkg-lynx-maint] Bug#983208: lynx: embeds path to various binaries that differ with usrmerge

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Source: lynx
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: usrmerge
X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bugs at lists.alioth.debian.org

The paths to various binaries are embedded in /usr/bin/lynx, which
differs on a usrmerge vs. non-usrmerge system.

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/diffoscope-results/lynx.html

  /usr/bin/lynx

  "/bin/gzip"
  vs.
  "/usr/bin/gzip"


Patch attached which passes variables to configure to use the
non-usrmerge locations, as usrmerge installations typically have
compatibility symlinks, but not vice-versa.


This does not resolve all reproducibility issues (e.g. when /bin/sh
points to bash), but should reduce some of the noise when comparing the
differences.


live well,
