Hi,
Executive summary: An upcoming release of flex is going to stop
pulling in libfl-dev; which will impact packages that build C++
scanners (and thus need FlexLexer.h). Please update your packages
Build-depends line if it is affected (lists follow).
Until recently, it was labeled Multi-Arch: foreign. In other
words a build dependency on flex means to install the host architecture
flex (with the host architecture flex libraries), but we cannot run
host architecture code, so all builds running flex fail.
That was wrong (#761449) as it exposes libfl-dev and thus the
architecture of libfl-dev. Since libfl-dev was only installed for the
build architecture, this broke the build of e.g. pam.
The solution being tested in experimental is where flex drops
its dependency on libfl-dev. In that case, it can become Multi-Arch:
foreign again. This impacts any packages that need libfl-dev to build;
and since we don’t do static linking, this eliminates libfl.a from
consideration; and it should only impact packages that build a C++
scanner and thus need FlexLexer.h
One always wants the build architecture flex binary
(i.e. :native). This implies flex is Multi-Arch: foreign
Most packages need libfl-dev for the host architecture, so then
lifl-dev is Multi-Arch: same.
This will be uploaded to unstable soonish.
