[debian-mysql] Bug#586086: src:mysql-5.1: FTBFS due to libtool problems

[Toni Mueller]

Package: src:mysql-5.1
Version: 5.1.47-1~bpo50+1
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source


Hi,

I've tried to recompile the package on my Lenny machine, but don't
succeed. Although I have all build dependencies satisfied, I get:


...
mv -f .deps/conf_to_src.Tpo .deps/conf_to_src.Po
/bin/sh ../libtool --preserve-dup-deps --tag=CC   --mode=link gcc  -O3 -DBIG_JOINS=1  -fno-strict-aliasing   -DUNIV_LINUX -DUNIV_LINUX -static -rdynamic  -o conf_to_src conf_to_src.o xml.o ctype.o bcmp.o  -lpthread -lcrypt -lnsl -lm  -lpthread 
../libtool: line 467: CDPATH: command not found
../libtool: line 1145: func_opt_split: command not found
libtool: Version mismatch error.  This is libtool 2.2.6, but the
libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from an older release.
libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.2.6
libtool: and run autoconf again.
make[2]: *** [conf_to_src] Error 63
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
mv -f .deps/decimal.Tpo .deps/decimal.Po
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/staff/mnt/deb/mysql/51bpo/builddir/strings'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/staff/mnt/deb/mysql/51bpo/builddir'
make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2


In Lenny, theres no libtool 2.2.6, and there is also no such
requirement stated in debian/control:

$ grep Build-Depends debian/control 
Build-Depends: libtool (>= 1.4.2-7), procps | hurd,  debhelper (>= 7.0.15), file (>= 3.28), libncurses5-dev (>= 5.0-6), perl (>= 5.6.0), libwrap0-dev (>= 7.6-8.3), zlib1g-dev (>= 1:1.1.3-5), libreadline-dev, psmisc, po-debconf, chrpath, automake1.9, doxygen, texlive-latex-base, ghostscript, dpatch, gawk, bison, lsb-release, hardening-wrapper


$ dpkg -l libtool

What gives?




Kind regards,
