Bug#444804: asterisk package does not build, relateg to libpri

[Rafal Pietrak]

Package: asterisk
Version: asterisk-1.2.13~dfsg

I have encountered numerous problems building asterisk in current
testing (lenny) environment.

my system is maintained (for last 3-5 years) from local debian mirror:
-------------------/etc/apt-/source.list----------------------
deb file:/usr/src/debian lenny main contrib non-free
deb-src file:/usr/src/debian lenny main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free
-------------------------------------------------------------------

During build of asterisk-bristuff, symbol BRI_NETWORK does not resolve
(this behaviour started occuring after one of the updated in previous
2-3 months).

The symbol does resolve, when dependencies are changed from
libpri-dev(depending on libpri1.2), to libpri-dev(depending on
libpri1.0) - a library deliberately pooled from 'unstable' bunch.

I have also tried to build asterisk-1.4.11~dfsg, which depends on
libpri1.0 (which itself looks inconsistant - the newer version of
asterisk (1.4.11) depends on libpri1.0, which 'looks older' then
libpri1.2 on which depends asterisl-1.2.13). This does not build, since
debian repository does not contain "libc-clint2006j2-dev". Remowing that
depencencie makes the build break on "--with-imap" "./configure" option.
I think, asterisk-1.4.11 would build on testing/lenny when that
dependencie get removed, since it builds directly from
"./configure" (e.g. without the use of debian patch-set and
dpkg-buildpackage helper).

So the bug is:
1. either in debian repository, that should be provided with
"libc-clint2006j2-dev" package.
2. or the dependencies and patch-set of "asterisk-1.4.11~dfsg", which
puts "--with-imap" option to "./configure", should be changed to
acknowlage, that "libc-clinet*" is missing from the distribution.
