Re: gpgme1.0: FTBFS: Can't find GNU Pth



Hi José Carlos,

FWIW I'm not content with the implemented solution as far as inclusion in
etch is concerned.  Previous versions of the package clearly did not need
libpth20, the new version does and the effect on the package's behavior as a
result of this new library dep seem to be unknown.

The package also includes this change:

@@ -5,9 +5,6 @@
 # Uncomment this to turn on verbose mode.
 #export DH_VERBOSE=1

-# This is the debhelper compatability version to use.
-export DH_COMPAT=3
-
 # C compiler information
 CC              = gcc
 CFLAGS          = -Wall -g

This is a behavior change from the previous version of the package, because
DH_COMPAT takes precedence over debian/compat, so this is very much not a
change that's suitable during a freeze.

So unless the security team overrules me, I don't think this version of the
package should be allowed into etch as-is.

(It's also currently held out of etch because it depends on the
security-fixed gnupg which is not yet available, but that problem should
clear up on its own anyway with no effort on your part.)

BTW, this is a regression between gpgme1.0 1.1.2-2 and 1.1.2-3; I believe
the cause is the re-rolled '10_relibtoolize.patch', which AFAICS there was
no reason to change in a security update.
