RC Bugs 2012/37
No real RC bugs work done in last weeks due to busy time. In week 2012/37 this is what I have done:
#687455 - FTBFS: yudit/2.8.1-4
Tried to reproduce the FTBFS both in sbuild and pbuilder environment.
#674805 - libnetcdf-dev: netcdf.mod needs update for gfortran-4.7
Recheck after scheduled binNMU for libnetcdf-dev on amd64, i386, kfreebsd-amd64 and kfreebsd-i386. Close the bugreport in BTS.
RC Bugs 2012/35
A little bit of work on RC bugs this week:
#680845 - derivations: FTBFS: Can't create output index file /«PKGBUILDDIR»/tex/main.ind.
Checked that the package builds now again both in wheezy and unstable and closed the bugreport.
#684736 - melange: ImportError: No module named melange
Add a Depends on python-melange for the melange binary package. Propose the patch in the BTS but did not took any further action.
#685983 - burst generates invalid PDFs (free xref entries wrongly marked as used)
Found reference to corresponding Launchpad Bugreport and send information to the BTS.
#685694 - libmatio-doc: almost empty PDF
Verified that rebuilding the package solves the problem. Ask the Release Team on IRC on further steps.
#685814 - phpgacl: prompting due to modified conffiles which were not modified by the user
Investigated the bugreport. The package ships a conffile which get's modified by maintainer scripts on configure. This is explicitly discouraged by Debian policy.
RC Bugs 2012/34
Again only worked on few bugs this week:
#682602 - libnet-dns-perl_0.68-1 FTBFS: missing build-dep on netbase
Add netbase to Build-Depends to resolve FTBFS on buildds.
#665028 - cvs2svn: FTBFS: tests failed
Add patch taken from upstream commit revision r5381 and verified that the package builds both on wheezy and unstable. Send patch to BTS and proposing a NMU upload.
RC Bugs 2012/33
Again two quite busy weeks and thus I was not able to really solve some RC bugs.
#682631 - linaro-image-tools: FTBFS: AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'major'
Triaged the FTBFS on linaro-image-tools and nautilus-image-manipulator which where caused by a backwards compatibility problem for python-distutils-extra to python <= 2.6.
Contributed one part of the patch to solve the problem. The other one was done by gregoa.
RC Bugs 2012/31
My activity for 2012/31 is (again) quite small:
#682633 - libemail-outlook-message-perl: FTBFS: test failed
Report the bug upstream. Furthermore verified that it only affects unstable but not wheezy. I have packaged afterwards the new upstream version and uploaded to unstable.
#680796 - libmojomojo-perl: FTBFS: tests failed
Tried to investigate the issue. It seems the expected strings do not start anymore with the h1 tag. Submit a lazy workaround for the issue to the BTS.
RC Bugs 2012/30
My activity for 2012/30 is quite small:
#682629 - libemail-mime-perl: FTBFS: test failed
Prepare the new upstream version. I have verified that this FTBFS does not affects wheezy. Thus upload the new upstream version to unstable.
RC Bugs 2012/29
No real work done in this week after DebConf12.
#682277 - libweb-id-perl: Missing Depends on libmousex-types-perl causing librdf-crypt-perl FTBFS
Cloned the bugreport from the original one on librdf-crypt-perl.
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.
