Package: systemd
Version: 228-2
Severity: normal

Hello!

systemd currently fails to build from source on sparc64 since the version
of elfutils available on sparc64 is currently outdated (this is a separate
issue which I have already resolved with a workaround and will be fully
resolved with the new upstream version of elfutils).

Here's the relevant excerpt from the build log [1]:

checking elfutils/libdwfl.h usability... yes
checking elfutils/libdwfl.h presence... yes
checking for elfutils/libdwfl.h... yes
checking for dwfl_core_file_attach in -ldw... no
configure: error: *** ELFUTILS >= 158 is required.
	   "tail -v -n +0 config.log"
==> config.log <==
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by systemd configure 228, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69.  Invocation command line was

Thus, src:systemd should build-depend on elfutils >= 0.158, the last successful
build of elfutils on sparc64 was 0.157-3 which is why the missing versioned
build dependency became visible.

Cheers,
Adrian
