[Pkg-varnish-devel] Bug#725597: varnish-agent: FTBFS: Automake errors

[David Suárez]

Source: varnish-agent
Version: 2.2~git20130708-1
Severity: serious
Tags: jessie sid
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org

Justification: FTBFS on amd64

Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build on
amd64.

Relevant part (hopefully):

> dh build --with autoreconf
>    dh_testdir
>    dh_autoreconf
> configure.ac:25: installing './compile'
> configure.ac:10: installing './install-sh'

> automake: warning: possible forward-incompatibility.
> automake: At least a source file is in a subdirectory, but the 'subdir-objects'
> automake: automake option hasn't been enabled.  For now, the corresponding output

> automake: unconditionally cause object files to be placed in the same subdirectory
> automake: of the corresponding sources.

About the archive rebuild: The rebuild was done on EC2 VM instances from
Amazon Web Services, using a clean, minimal and up-to-date chroot. Every
failed build was retried once to eliminate random failures.
