[This bug is NOT targeted to the upcoming trixie release] Please keep this issue open in the bug tracker for the package it was filed for. If a fix in another package is required, please file a bug for the other package (or clone), and add a block in this package. Please keep the issue open until the package can be built in a follow-up test rebuild. The package fails to build in a test rebuild on at least amd64 with gcc-15/g++-15, but succeeds to build with gcc-14/g++-14. The severity of this report will be raised before the forky release. The full build log can be found at: http://qa-logs.debian.net/2025/02/16/amd64exp/xwpe_1.5.30a-4_unstable_gccexp.log.gz The last lines of the build log are at the end of this report. To build with GCC 15, either set CC=gcc-15 CXX=g++-15 explicitly, or install the gcc, g++, gfortran, ... packages from experimental. apt-get -t=experimental install g++ GCC 15 now defaults to the C23/C++23 standards, exposing many FTBFS. Other Common build failures are new warnings resulting in build failures with -Werror turned on, or new/dropped symbols in Debian symbols files. For other C/C++ related build failures see the porting guide at http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-15/porting_to.html [...] | ^~~~~~~~~~~ we_fl_fkt.c:22:5: note: previous declaration of ‘e_read_info’ with type ‘int(void)’ 22 | int e_read_info(); | ^~~~~~~~~~~ we_edit.c: In function ‘e_eingabe’: we_edit.c:444:22: error: too many arguments to function ‘e_del_a_ind’; expected 0, have 2 444 | if (f->flg & 1) e_del_a_ind(b, s); | ^~~~~~~~~~~ ~ we_edit.c:17:5: note: declared here 17 | int e_del_a_ind(); | ^~~~~~~~~~~ we_edit.c:483:4: error: too many arguments to function ‘e_tab_a_ind’; expected 0, have 2 483 | e_tab_a_ind(b, s); | ^~~~~~~~~~~ ~ we_edit.c:18:5: note: declared here 18 | int e_tab_a_ind(); | ^~~~~~~~~~~ we_edit.c: In function ‘e_tst_cur’: we_edit.c:676:10: error: too many arguments to function ‘e_help_next’; expected 0, have 2 676 | e_help_next(f, 0); | ^~~~~~~~~~~ ~ we_edit.c:19:5: note: declared here 19 | int e_help_next(); | ^~~~~~~~~~~ we_edit.c:681:10: error: too many arguments to function ‘e_help_next’; expected 0, have 2 681 | e_help_next(f, 1); | ^~~~~~~~~~~ ~ we_edit.c:19:5: note: declared here 19 | int e_help_next(); | ^~~~~~~~~~~ we_edit.c: At top level: we_edit.c:1254:5: error: conflicting types for ‘e_tab_a_ind’; have ‘int(BUFFER *, SCHIRM *)’ {aka ‘int(struct BFF *, struct SCHRM *)’} 1254 | int e_tab_a_ind(BUFFER *b, SCHIRM *s) | ^~~~~~~~~~~ we_edit.c:18:5: note: previous declaration of ‘e_tab_a_ind’ with type ‘int(void)’ 18 | int e_tab_a_ind(); | ^~~~~~~~~~~ we_edit.c:1372:5: error: conflicting types for ‘e_del_a_ind’; have ‘int(BUFFER *, SCHIRM *)’ {aka ‘int(struct BFF *, struct SCHRM *)’} 1372 | int e_del_a_ind(BUFFER *b, SCHIRM *s) | ^~~~~~~~~~~ we_edit.c:17:5: note: previous declaration of ‘e_del_a_ind’ with type ‘int(void)’ 17 | int e_del_a_ind(); | ^~~~~~~~~~~ we_edit.c: In function ‘e_autosave’: we_edit.c:2051:9: error: too many arguments to function ‘e_make_postf’; expected 0, have 3 2051 | str = e_make_postf(str, f->datnam, ".ASV"); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ we_edit.c:16:7: note: declared here 16 | char *e_make_postf(); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~ make[1]: *** [Makefile:107: we_fl_fkt.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[1]: *** [Makefile:107: we_edit.o] Error 1 we_fl_unix.c: In function ‘e_ed_man’: we_fl_unix.c:3419:43: warning: ‘%s’ directive writing up to 255 bytes into a region of size 243 [-Wformat-overflow=] 3419 | sprintf(command, " man -s %s %s > \'%s\' 2> /dev/null", nstr, hstr, tstr); | ^~ ~~~~ we_fl_unix.c:3419:7: note: ‘sprintf’ output 28 or more bytes (assuming 283) into a destination of size 256 3419 | sprintf(command, " man -s %s %s > \'%s\' 2> /dev/null", nstr, hstr, tstr); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ we_fl_unix.c:3417:37: warning: ‘%s’ directive writing up to 255 bytes into a region of size 247 [-Wformat-overflow=] 3417 | sprintf(command, " man %s > \'%s\' 2> /dev/null", hstr, tstr); | ^~ ~~~~ we_fl_unix.c:3417:7: note: ‘sprintf’ output 24 or more bytes (assuming 279) into a destination of size 256 3417 | sprintf(command, " man %s > \'%s\' 2> /dev/null", hstr, tstr); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ make[1]: Leaving directory '/build/reproducible-path/xwpe-1.5.30a' dh_auto_build: error: make -j8 returned exit code 2 make: *** [debian/rules:11: binary] Error 25 dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary subprocess returned exit status 2
Hi, while I managed to get the package building https://salsa.debian.org/debian/xwpe/-/blob/master/debian/patches/gcc-15.patch?ref_type=heads unfortunately the resulting executable shows some issues in the user interface which makes the package not really usable. Thus I deactivated the patch and tried to suppress gcc-15 build errors https://salsa.debian.org/debian/xwpe/-/blob/master/debian/rules?ref_type=heads#L5 This in addition needed another patch https://salsa.debian.org/debian/xwpe/-/blob/master/debian/patches/gcc-15_no_strstr.patch?ref_type=heads but there are remaining build failures as you can see in Salsa CI https://salsa.debian.org/debian/xwpe/-/jobs/9647545#L1122 Any help is welcome. Kind regards Andreas.

Kind regards Andreas.
Hi Francesco, as we discussed previously I started migrating your packages to Salsa. Since xwpe had an open RC bug I decided for a delay of only two days. Thanks a lot to the help of Juan who helped fixing the bug. So the honor for the fix goes to him and I just sponsored the upload which fixes all but one bug. As we discussed before you can find all changes of the upload at https://salsa.debian.org/debian/xwpe Kind regards Andreas. PS: I migrated the other packages of yours as well but will choose delayed=10 for those uploads and let you know once I've done so.
I take the opportunity to give thanks for sponsoring it! and to provide the MR for documenting purposes https://salsa.debian.org/debian/xwpe/-/merge_requests/1 Note: It was already merged by Andreas. I will have a look to the remaining one, that I think is: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=228820 Cheers, Juan

[ Juan Manuel Méndez Rey ]
* Fix FTBFS with GCC 15: skip dh_autoreconf (configure.in incompatible
with autoconf 2.73) and call configure directly. (Closes: #1098180)
* Fix terminal left in bad state after wpe exits.
