[pkg-fso-maint] Bug#638600: nodm: FTBFS in Ubuntu because of unchecked return value of asprintf

[Ilya Barygin]

Package: nodm
Version: 0.11-1
Severity: minor

Hello,

nodm fails to build in Ubuntu because of -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 compiler flag 
enabled by default (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilerFlags). It causes 
warnings to be generated, then the package fails to build because of -Werror.

gcc -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.    -DNODM_SESSION='"/usr/sbin/nodm"' -g -O2 -Wall -Werror -c -o nodm-xserver.o `test -f 'xserver.c' || echo './'`xserver.c
xserver.c: In function 'nodm_xserver_read_window_path':
xserver.c:413:17: error: ignoring return value of 'asprintf', declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Werror=unused-result]
xserver.c:415:17: error: ignoring return value of 'asprintf', declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Werror=unused-result]
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

make[2]: *** [nodm-xserver.o] Error 1
