[Pkg-db-devel] Bug#532555: db4.6: pathological java include dirs when javac's path is a relative symlink

[Steve Langasek]

Source: db4.6
Version: 4.6.21-13
Severity: important
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch karmic

The current version of db4.6 is failing to build in Ubuntu because the java
include path detection winds up putting /usr/include/linux on the compiler's
commandline.  This certainly shouldn't be there, but it ends up there
because the java include macro can't detect that a relative symlink points
at /usr/bin.

The attached patch corrects this, and should be applicable to Debian as well
even though the package doesn't appear to have FTBFS yet.  It doesn't appear
to have affected db4.7, though, so perhaps the better solution here is to
just deprecate db4.6 faster for squeeze.
