Dear maintainer:

During a rebuild of all packages in unstable, the following 8 packages failed to build:

astap
cevomapgen
cqrlog
ddrescueview
lazpaint
morserunner
vmg
winff

with an error like this:

A debbisect on astap shows this output:

   fp-units-rtl:amd64 3.2.2+dfsg-46 -> 3.2.2+dfsg-47

so I'm reporting this against the common src package for all of the above.

I've put full build logs here for reference:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/202602/

Please reassign if appropriate.

Thanks.

Hi.

I forgot: If the individual packages are to blame for this, please close this bug
and I will file individual bugs (please suggest some text for those reports,
maybe "missing build-dependency on XXX"?).

(I suspect after reading #967348 that the above might indeed be the case)

Thanks.

Hi Santiago.

fpc does not itself need X11. Its a command line compiler.

I think the best solution is to add a dependency on libx11-dev
to the lazarus lcl. Leave this with me.

Cheers,
Peter

P.S.  Lazarus currently stuck in NEW.

dependency is the best course of action here.

See this other package (src:transgui) which I discovered later,
note that this time the error is not "cannot find -lX11":

/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/transgui.lpr(56,1) Fatal: (10026) There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping
Fatal: (1018) Compilation aborted

If fpc does not really need X11, it would seem that those are really
bugs in the affected packages, including src:transgui, not in fpc.

I think this would be a good opportunity to fix the packages themselves.

Thanks.

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
libqtpas, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is
attached.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 1129081@bugs.debian.org,
and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.

Agreed. There are other missing dependences apart from X11,
and I have only fixed for X11 (in libqtpas & libqt6pas, closing 1129081).
Those builds that only failed through "cannot find -lX11" should now be OK.

These other dependences were previously pulled via libgtk2.0-dev [1],
which for Qt packages, makes no sense going forward.

  libatk1.0-dev
  libcairo2-dev
  libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-dev
  libpango1.0-dev

So these need adding to affected packages.

[1] https://packages.debian.org/forky/libgtk2.0-dev

On second thoughts, I think fixing this in fpc (your original suggestion!)
is best.

fp-units-gtk2 binary package used to depend on libgtk2.0-dev.
As it no longer does that, it should instead, depend on the above
packages directly.

(The fp-units-gtk2 package contains various stuff apary from gtk2)

I'll do another upload of fpc.
