Package: matplotlib
Version: 0.98.5.3-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: qa-ftbfs-20090713 qa-ftbfs
Justification: FTBFS on amd64

Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build on
amd64.

Relevant part:
> g++ -pthread -shared -g -O2 build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.4/src/_tkagg.o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.4/CXX/cxxsupport.o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.4/CXX/IndirectPythonInterface.o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.4/CXX/cxx_extensions.o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.4/CXX/cxxextensions.o -ltk8.5 -ltcl8.5 -lstdc++ -lm -lfreetype -lz -lstdc++ -lm -o build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.4/matplotlib/backends/_tkagg.so
> /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltk8.5
> collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

The full build log is available from:
   http://people.debian.org/~lucas/logs/2009/07/13/matplotlib_0.98.5.3-1_lsid64.buildlog

A list of current common problems and possible solutions is available at 
http://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS . You're welcome to contribute!

About the archive rebuild: The rebuild was done on about 50 AMD64 nodes
of the Grid'5000 platform, using a clean chroot.  Internet was not
accessible from the build systems.
