Bug#1034090: ibus: FTBFS twice in a row: src/ibusenumtypes.h is regenerated too late

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson <gunnarhj@debian.org>]

Control: tags -1 upstream
Control: forwarded -1 https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2501

Thanks for your report!

We use a pre-compiled, kind of, tarball as the upstream source:

https://github.com/ibus/ibus/releases/download/1.5.28/ibus-1.5.28.tar.gz

ibusenumtypes.h has already been generated in that tarball, which 
explains why it works the first time. The file is not present in the 
upstream git source (only the 8 years old src/ibusenumtypes.h.template 
file is).

As an experiment I tried to build with the true source tarball, and then 
it failed already at the first attempt for the same reason.

The behavior has been reported upstream, so let's await the outcome of 
the upstream issue.

Btw, is "serious" an appropriate severity level for this bug?
