[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#865492: zsh: FTBFS with yodl 4

[Axel Beckert]

Source: zsh
Version: 5.3.1-4
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream

zsh FTBFS with yodl 4 since it has a yodl version check in configure.ac
which only supports versions 2 and 3 so far:

    626 YODL_OPTIONS=''
    627 if test "x$ac_cv_prog_YODL" = xyodl; then
    628     case `yodl --version` in
    629       *"version 2."*) YODL_OPTIONS='-k' ;;
    630       *"version 3."*) YODL_OPTIONS='-k -L' ;;
    631     esac
    632 fi

Symptoms: With the wrong (i.e. no) options, an empty zsh.texi is
generated and later on texi2pdf and pdfetex trap over it (by hanging
infinitely on an empty input file).
