Pkg xen devel - Oct 2014 - Bug#764113: xen: build-dependency on libgnutls-dev

Source: xen
Version: 4.4.1-2
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
User: ametzler at debian.org
Usertags: gnutls3

xen build-depends on libgnutls-dev which is
- scheduled for removal
- and (somehow related) uninstallable.

The b-d therefore makes xen FTBFS (uninstallable b-d).

Please check whether a gnutls build-dependency is actually needed
(none of the generated binaries have a respective dependency) and going
from there either drop the libgnutls-dev b-d or exchange it for one on
libgnutls28-dev.

thanks, cu Andreas

Nice, but this is not a problem in xen but in libgnutls-dev.
Re-assigning.

Hello,

Eh, no. xen build-depends on a package that will not be shipped in
jessie.

Also afaict the GnuTLS build-dependency is not used. Rebuilding xen
with or without the current GnuTLS development package
(libgnutls28-dev) installed generates binary packages with identical
dependencies.
