Package: noweb
Version: 2.11b-10
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Dear maintainer:
This package does no longer build from source because the iconc
package does no longer exist (I'm not providing a build log, but this
is very easy to check).
You can blame me for that, because I dropped iconc in a QA upload, but
there were really good reasons to drop it, just read the Debian changelog.
Fortunately, it seems iconc did not work very well lately, and this is
reflected in the debian/rules file for noweb, which ended up not using
iconc at all but icont.
So, I believe the attached patch should fix the FTBFS bug (but I have
not actually tested it). Please give it a try.
Thanks.
