Public bug reported: I fetched the latest sortmail source from oneiric: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sortmail/1:2.4-1ubuntu1 1eceebf76c5f9a2f237b809649380fc534c2a32f sortmail_2.4.orig.tar.gz 950478be4125eae7f914adc670528d4428bc5a1c sortmail_2.4-1ubuntu1.diff.gz
and tried to build it. (I applied the patch) It won't build, complaining that it needs gdbm-ndbm.h make gives: cc -O -DLINUX -I/usr/include/gdbm -c -o sortmail.o sortmail.c sortmail.c:76:23: fatal error: gdbm-ndbm.h: No such file or directory #include <gdbm-ndbm.h> The patch replaced an include of gdbm/ndbm.h like so: -#include <gdbm/ndbm.h> +#include <gdbm-ndbm.h> apt-file wrongly reports that libgdm-dev has it: $ apt-file search gdbm-ndbm.h libgdbm-dev: /usr/include/gdbm-ndbm.h It doesn't. There exists a build of sortmail 2.4-1 for ubuntu trusty, as I can install it and run it (albeit with an old bug), so where is the source for the ubuntu build. When I looked here, I couldn't find one for the x86 for trusty, though the binary package exists: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sortmail/1:2.4-1ubuntu1 I'm trying to re-fix a problem that I reported (with a fix) here: http://sourceforge.net/p/sortmail/bugs/3/ 1) $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Release: 14.04 2) The problem is building the latest version of the source. $ apt-cache policy sortmail sortmail: Installed: 1:2.4-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 1:2.4-1ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1:2.4-1ubuntu1 0 500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) I expected to be able to find the corresponding source code and build it. 4) The build failed.
