[Pkg-pascal-devel] Bug#1016914: fpc-source-3.2.0: fpc is not shipped with the units of the vcl-compat package

[Jan Baumgarten]

Package: fpc-source-3.2.0
Version: 3.2.0+dfsg-12
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

a user of Zeos (zeoslib.sourceforge.io) mentioned that our software fails to
build because the unit System.NetEncoding is not available.
There seems to be no package file that contains these units even though the
source file is installed in /usr/share/fpcsrc/3.2.0/packages/vcl-
compat/src/system.netencoding.pp.
The fpc project itself ship these unit with their installer. Also the unit gets
built using fpclazup. I suggest to somehow include the vcl-compat packagt that
contains the System.NetEncoding unit.

Best regards,

Jan Baumgarten
