[debian-mysql] Bug#1130105: mysql-8.0: FTBFS with libc6-dev dropping dependency on rpcsvc-proto

[Aurelien Jarno]

Source: mysql-8.0
Version: 8.0.45-1
Severity: important

User: debian-glibc at lists.debian.org
Usertags: rpcsvc-proto

Dear maintainer(s),

Historically, the rpcgen has been provided by glibc. It was split out
into the rpcsvc-proto package starting with glibc 2.31 (released in
bookworm), anid libc6-dev gained a dependency on it as part of the
transition.

It now makes sense to finish this transition by using an explicit
Build-Depends on rpcsvc-proto instead of relying on the dependency
pulled in via libc6-dev.

mysql-8.0 is one of the packages requiring this Build-Depends on
rpcsvc-proto. Indeed it FTBFS with a modified glibc that no longer
depends on it. From my build log:

Therefore could you please add a Build-Depends on rpcsvc-proto for the
next mysql-8.0 upload?
