Hi,

During a test rebuild of HDF5's reverse dependencies against HDF5 2.1.0
currently in experimental, unifrac-tools FTBFS because its build
toolchain doesn't support this new major release.

The attached patch is a workaround for this issue and supports both
HDF5 1.14.6 in unstable and HDF5 2.1.0 in experimental.

Best,
_g.

Greetings

Hi Gilles and Aaron,

Salsa kindly has tagged that patch pending when I applied the patch from
Gilles.  When I decided to build the latest upstream version of
unifrac-tools I first had to package a new dependency which is now
available.  I had to adapt the patch for src/Makefile in several ways
and it seems I managed to mess it up again as you can see in Salsa CI

https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/unifrac-tools/-/jobs/9880561

Any help would be welcome - direct pushing to the Git repository (any
DD has push permissions) or MRs welcome.

Thanks a lot for your help
   Andreas.

Done.

You shouldn't step in packaging a new release of this package if you
don't understand what its current patches are for and how to properly
refresh them.

My apologies for the harsh tone above, but English is not my native
language, and I don't know how to better express how this has upset
me.

Best,
_g.
