Package: systemd Version: 228-2 Severity: normal Hello!
systemd currently fails to build from source on sparc64 since the version of elfutils available on sparc64 is currently outdated (this is a separate issue which I have already resolved with a workaround and will be fully resolved with the new upstream version of elfutils). Here's the relevant excerpt from the build log [1]: checking elfutils/libdwfl.h usability... yes checking elfutils/libdwfl.h presence... yes checking for elfutils/libdwfl.h... yes checking for dwfl_core_file_attach in -ldw... no configure: error: *** ELFUTILS >= 158 is required. "tail -v -n +0 config.log" ==> config.log <== This file contains any messages produced by compilers while running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake. It was created by systemd configure 228, which was generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69. Invocation command line was Thus, src:systemd should build-depend on elfutils >= 0.158, the last successful build of elfutils on sparc64 was 0.157-3 which is why the missing versioned build dependency became visible.
