When submitting patches to the BTS, it is a good idea to mark the bug as having a patch using the patch tag. Add this to the pseudo-headers: Control: tags -1 + patch https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting#control https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control#tag https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#tags The patch to debian/rules seems like it should have been made to the upstream build system so both patches could be sent upstream instead. In addition both patches are workarounds not proper fixes, since they switch the package to an older version of C++ instead of fixing it to work with the current version of C++. Since this package is orphaned in Debian, unmaintained upstream, nothing in Debian seems to depend on it and fails to build with current versions of its build dependencies, perhaps it should be just removed from Debian instead of fixing it? If you agree, please file a removal: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.en.html#removing-packages -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
