I was waiting for the uploaded version to be installed; it took quite some
time, and I missed it when it happened. I guess I don't get an email
notification...does this only go to the uploader, and not the maintainer?
I have closed #50728, #51072, and #51187 (all the same bug). #55270 exists
because rrdtool build-depends on cgilib, which doesn't appear to be installed
on (at least one of) the autobuilders (erwin). I have noted this on the bug
report, and it should not be considered release-critical. (As a side note,
cgilib, being a library package, should probably be called 'libcgi-dev', as it
only includes a static library...there is no shared library package)
Whom should I contact to have cgilib installed on the autobuilder machines?
Should I add a Build-Depends: line to the control file for this package? I
have heard some murmurs about Build-Depends, but I can't find any reference
material that explains its current status.
