[PKG-IRC-Maintainers] Bug#529823: inspircd: FTBFS against gnutls26 >= 2.7.x

[Andreas Metzler]

Package: inspircd
Version: 1.1.22+dfsg-3
Severity: important

The package's ./configure script is trying to invoke libgnutls-config
and/or libgnutls-extra-config to search for the gnutls library. Newer
version of gnutls do not ship these scripts anymore.

Please use another way to search for the gnutls library, e.g.
pkg-config or AC_LIB_HAVE_LINKFLAGS or AC_CHECK_FUNCS. For packages
that already use pkg-config to search for other libraries, pkg-config
will probably be the simplest way. Debian's gnutls packages have
shipped the necessary .pc files 0.3.5-1 (June 2006).

This is going to be a rc bug once gnutls26 2.8 is released and
uploaded to unstable. The second release candidata of 2.8 (2.7.12) is
available for testing in Debian/experimental.
