Bug#1065214: iproute2: recent libc6-dev change causes the RPC support to be dropped
Package: iproute2
Version: 6.7.0-2
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
User: debian-glibc@lists.debian.org
Usertags: libtirpc-dev
Dear maintainer,
Starting with glibc 2.31, support for NIS (libnsl library) has been
moved to a separate libnsl2 package. In order to allow a smooth
transition, a libnsl-dev, which depends on libtirpc-dev, has been added
to the libc6-dev package.
The libnsl-dev dependency has been temporarily dropped in the 2.37-15.1
NMU, as part of the 64-bit time_t transition. This causes the RPC
support in iproute2 (from misc/ss.c) to be dropped, I am not sure it is
something to care about.
Therefore please either:
- Add libtirpc-dev as build dependency
- Disable the RPC support explicitly using --without-rpc so that this
feature does not depend on the packages installed on the system.
Regards
Aurelien
