[Pkg-pascal-devel] Bug#826300: fpc: fp-compiler not installable on powerpc since glibc 2.23

[Graham Inggs]

Source: fpc
Version: 3.0.0+dfsg-6
Severity: important
User: debian-glibc at lists.debian.org
Usertags: 2.23

Package fp-compiler fails to install on powerpc with libc6 2.23
(2.23-0experimental2 from
experimental).  Previously reported in Ubuntu [1], confirmed on
partch.debian.org.

$ schroot -b -c experimental -n $mysid

$ dd-schroot-cmd -c $mysid apt-get update

$ dd-schroot-cmd -c $mysid apt-get install libc6=2.23-0experimental2
libc-bin=2.23-0experimental2 libc6-dev=2.23-0experimental2
libc-dev-bin=2.23-0experimental2

$ dd-schroot-cmd -c $mysid apt-get install fpc

This will cause all packages build-depending on fpc; e.g. hedgewars,
lazarus, libqt4pas, and fpc itself, to FTBFS.
