[Pkg-telepathy-maintainers] Bug#427490: telepathy-gabble_0.5.11-1(m68k/unstable/thing2): FTBFS on m68k

[Stephen R Marenka]

Package: telepathy-gabble
Version: 0.5.11-1
Severity: important


telepathy-gabble fails to build from source on m68k and likely others.
It expects the existence of /usr/lib/libidn.so. However, libidn11 no 
longer provides that (although it is listed in libidn.la).

Since libidn is built the same way on i386, I'm sure I only noticed it 
because we're playing catch up.

I don't really know who should be responsible for the fix, I'll leave
that to ya'll to decide.

Here are selected excerpts from the buildd log.
