Bug#658770: libax25 FTBFS make: execvp: ./configure: Permission denied
Package: libax25
Version: 0.0.12-rc2+cvs20120204-1
Tags: patch
Your package FTBFS with
>./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
--mandir=/usr/share/man
>make: execvp: ./configure: Permission denied
The problem is that diff/patch don't preserve permissions, so when your
source package is extracted
configure (which is stored in the .diff.gz) is not executable.
The fix is trivial, just chmod the file in debian/rules. A patch is
attatched.
