Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package libcap2, which fixes a FTBFS, and a
FTBFS-twice-in-a-row (do we have an acronym for that?).
Thanks,
Christian
[ Reason ]
This fixes #1109906, which is caused by the occasional lingering
of test executables, thus preventing the RPATH drop.
In the previous workaround, wasn't seeing the forest for the
trees -- I don't need to remove RPATH from the original tests,
it's sufficient to remove them from the installed copies.
This upload also fixes a typo in a dh_auto_clean override,
which resulted in a failure to build twice in a row.
[ Impact ]
#1109906 is release-critical.
[ Tests ]
There are no user-visible changes.
For the package build itself, I first tested this in
experimental before uploading to unstable.
[ Risks ]
There should be zero risks to this change.
[ Checklist ]
[x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
