For popt 1.7, we need to update also libtool, by recipe listed at begining of this bug. For popt 1.10, it is sufficient to update only config.sub/config.guess, as upstream already updated libtool. I took the source from popt subdirectory of debian rpm package http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/r/rpm/rpm_4.4.1.orig.tar.gz Is seems the orig.tar.gz for popt should be repackaged anyway due to #179959, so it should not harm to use rpm_4.4.1.orig.tar.gz as source of source ;-) It builds cleanly using your popt 1.7 debian/rules, only "cp -a $(CURDIR)/configure.in $(CURDIR)/configure.ac" and "rm -rf $(CURDIR)/configure.ac" have to be dropped. For us (kfreebsd-i386, kfreebsd-amd64) is important only to get this bug solved, regardless which way. Thanks Petr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
