Package: vlc
Version: 0.8.6-svn20061001.debian-2
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source

In my computer, the latest vlc source package fails to build
unless libnotify is explicitly disabled in the debian/rules
file by, for example, adding the line "--disable-notify" to the
"vlc_confflags +=" section.

However, I am not sure if the problem is due to the particular
version of libnotify that I have installed.

The build fails at the packaging stage (tail -n 10 of
vlc.*build):

# --BEGIN BUILD LOG EXTRACT--
BORKED=no; \
        for file in $(find debian/vlc-nox/usr/lib/vlc -name '*.so'); do \
          if ldd $file | grep -q libX11; then \
            BORKED=yes; \
            echo $file depends on libX11; \
          fi; \
        done; \
        if test "$BORKED" = yes; then exit 1; fi
debian/vlc-nox/usr/lib/vlc/misc/libnotify_plugin.so depends on libX11
