[Pkg-mpd-maintainers] Bug#862130: src:mpd: FTBFS with cppunit 0.14 ("cannot use typeid with -fno-rtti")

[Rene Engelhard]

Package: src:mpd
Version: 0.19.21-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

[ cppunit 0.14 is not in Debian yet, see #861718. Thus normal for now ]

On a rebuild test using ratt I noticed your package doesn't build with
cppunit 0.14:

Upstream says cppunit now requires c++11. I am not deep in the standard
but maybe this is the explanation for this, too?

I put my package for testing to
