Bug#790649: FTBFS: Program 'makeinfo' version >= 5 is required.
Package: liblouis
Version: 2.6.2-1
Severity: serious
liblouis fails to build in unstable.
configure checks that makeinfo is >= 5 and it looks for "^makeinfo" in
the output, but this is "texi2any" now.
% makeinfo --version
texi2any (GNU texinfo) 6.0
vs:
configure:
MAKEINFO_VERSION=`makeinfo --version | sed -ne 's/^makeinfo .* \([0-9][0-9]*\)\.[0-9][0-9]*$/\1/p'`
> sbuild (Debian sbuild) 0.64.1 (13 Oct 2013) on m400-c3n1.hlinux.usa.hp.com
...
> checking for a sed that does not truncate output... (cached) /bin/sed
> checking for makeinfo... yes
> checking for makeinfo version >= 5... no
> configure: error: Program 'makeinfo' version >= 5 is required.
> debian/rules:27: recipe for target 'configure-stamp' failed
> make: *** [configure-stamp] Error 1
