Package: diffutils Version: 3.2-7 Severity: serious Tags: patch experimental upstream Justification: fails to build from source
Diffutils doesn't build with eglibc2.16 due to gets finally being removed but the gnulib in the package not knowing about this. The patch has links to upstream bugs. A new diffutils release with new gnulib is the right fix for this, but this simple nobbling works in the meantime (and allows the arm64 bootstrap to progress) -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.6 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32.33-kvm-i386-20111128-dirty (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
