Source: gcl Version: 2.6.14-6 Severity: serious User: debian-gl...@lists.debian.org Usertags: libtirpc-dev
Dear maintainer, Starting with glibc 2.31, support for NIS (libnsl library) has been moved to a separate libnsl2 package. In order to allow a smooth transition, a libnsl-dev, which depends on libtirpc-dev, has been added to the libc6-dev package. The libnsl-dev dependency has been temporarily dropped in the 2.37-15.1 NMU, as part of the 64-bit time_t transition. This causes gcl to disable the XDR support. Not fully sure what are the consequences, but it seems at least axiom requires XDR support. Therefore please either: - Add libnsl-dev as build dependency - Disable XDR support explicitly with --disable-xdr so that this feature does not depend on the packages installed on the system. The glibc change will likely be reverted in the short term, but given its a change we want to do for Trixie, this will only lower the severity of the bug. Regards Aurelien
