RC Bugs 2012/28
My activity during DebConf12:
#680797 - libcam-pdf-perl: FTBFS: tests failed
Add missing (build-)dependencies on libcrypt-rc4-perl and libtext-pdf-perl.
#680831 - libtext-recordparser-perl: FTBFS: tests failed
The bug was actually in libtext-tabulardisplay-perl 1.31-1. Updating to 1.33-1 would fix the FTBFS for libtext-recordparser-perl. Asking the Release Team for an unblock of libtext-tabulardisplay-perl.
#680804 - odin: FTBFS: checking for blitz/tinyvec-et.h... no (removed in blitz++ 1:0.10-1)
Try to analize the FTBFS. In unstable there was an update for blitz++ removing the blitz/tinyvec-et.h include.
Investiagated two serious bugs in python-csa. #595848 was re-opened as new version 0.1.0-1 dropped again the python-tk (build-)dependency. For #665039 the problem is that during build a writable $HOME is accessed. On buildd the building user however does not have a writable $HOME. Furthermore report a FTBFS due to the testsuite failing.
#680824 - xdotool: FTBFS: /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': cannot load such file -- xdo_test_helper (LoadError)
Send a patch to the BTS. Ruby 1.9.2 does not include anymore the current directory in the include path.

The package builds fine in the last archive rebuilds run for unstable. But it still FTBFS in wheezy.
