That's brilliant! And if configure works it doesn't even fill the build
logs with trash. Lovely. Done.

This is usually indicative of a missing build-depends on xutils

# #190007: FTBFS on s390
the configure script failed since it derives from the existence
of a /lib64 directory that it is being run on a 64 bit platform
which is wrong. The same problem occured for the arts package
and has been fixed recently by dropping the $kdelibsuff test in
configure.
For the first I followed the suggestion, though I don't really like it.
The application itself doesn't need xmkmf, so it is annoying to have to
have it just for the configure. I also considered just removing the test
for X in configure since I would everything needed for the build should
be listed in or implied by the Build-Deps.
For the second I found a discussion on debian-s390(or something). The
consensus was to remove the test for the existance of /lib64 from
configure. This bugs me too. It seems not unlikely to break things for
the case it was meant for.
In either case, I wanted to test the changes before uploading. Also I
have another set of packages that are also KDE based and I am expecting
the same trouble with them.
