Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.
Version 16.6-2 has been synced to yakkety-proposed [1], which is the staging area for new packages. Unfortunately it fails to build on amd64 which keeps it from migrating over to the regular yakkety archive. It fails with the following error message, though I don't know why: make[2]: Entering directory '/«PKGBUILDDIR»/src64' ./mkAsm x86-64 ".linux" .s Linux base "" ../lib/map version.l glob.l main.l gc.l apply.l flow.l sym.l subr.l big.l io.l db.l net.l err.l sys/x86-64.linux.code.l ./mkAsm x86-64 ".linux" .s Linux ext T "" ext.l ./mkAsm x86-64 ".linux" .s Linux ht T "" ht.l as -o x86-64.linux.base.o x86-64.linux.base.s cc -o ../bin/picolisp x86-64.linux.base.o -Wl,--no-as-needed -rdynamic -lc -lm -ldl -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now /usr/bin/ld: x86-64.linux.base.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `Nil' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC x86-64.linux.base.o: error adding symbols: Bad value collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status (see https://launchpadlibrarian.net/273605740/buildlog_ubuntu-yakkety-amd64.picolisp_16.6-2_BUILDING.txt.gz for more details) [1] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/picolisp/16.6-2 ** Tags added: ftbfs upgrade-software-version yakkety -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1606142 Title: Version outdated To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/picolisp/+bug/1606142/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
