Bug#707195: Also breaks krb5 build
Sorry guys,
I have the feeling you are missing something...

That is not my problem. This has to be fixed either upstream
or in the eronous .texi file.
What do you mean wiht "security update" for sid - there is no
such concept. Security updates are for stable. And in stable it will
build properly.

Then communicate this to upstream. They will have the same problems
in many other distributions sooner or later.

Again, that is out of discussion.
With this reasoning any lib upgrade that bumps .so or changes API
would be forbidden in SID.
Of course we waited till after release, but now it is time, and docs
should be fixed *TILL* the *NEXT* release, which is in 2(?) years.
We reported it upstream (thanks Hilmar), but I consider this a bug
in the texii files that need to be fixed.
I had and have to fix often bugs/mis-code in other packages
because a library changed in sid, that is called normal
development process.
