[Pkg-nginx-maintainers] Bug#941917: nginx: FTBFS on several architectures: luajit.h: No such file or directory

[Niko Tyni]

Source: nginx
Version: 1.16.1-1
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs
Control: block 935737 with -1

This package failed to build from source on arm64, mips64el, ppc64el
and s390x, but earlier versions built there successfully in the past.

This is preventing 1.16.1-1 testing migration and is a blocker for
the ongoing Perl 5.30 transition.

See https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=nginx&suite=unstable
