    Package: rpvm
    Severity: serious
    Version: 0.6.2-1


    Please refer to the buildd log at the URL listed below.

    http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=rpvm&ver=0.6.2-1&arch=ia64&stamp=1090993499&file=log&as=raw

    config.status: creating src/Makevars
    config.status: creating inst/pvmhosts
    ** libs
    make[1]: Entering directory `/build/buildd/rpvm-0.6.2/src'
    Makevars:3: /usr/lib/pvm3/conf/LINUXRR64.def: No such file or directory

    This was bug in #265697 in pvm (not rpvm) where the arch was derived with a
    bad (unquoted) call to tr(1). This has been fixed in the -12 release of pvm
    -- could you please reschedule a build of rpvm on ia64 which should fix
    this?

    (Or may not, but that is the next bug report re -fPIC which fails, once
    again due to pvm, which mixes static and shared libs -- a serious Policy violation.)

    Please see bug #226762 for any discussion on this. (Basically, I do not consider it a policy violation, and would not reconsider this unless
    somebody actually entered with new arguments, or the ctte say otherwise.)

    What is so difficult to comprehend about the Policy line of 'each library package must provide shared libraries' ?

    Create the shared library, please, and we can all carry on with our business.

    What is no difficult to comprehend about the Policy line of "explicitly not intended by upstream"?

    Irrelevant. If it can't be packaged to Policy, what does it do in the archive.

    Fix the package, or orphan it.

    It is packaged to policy, see section 8.3:

    In some cases, it is acceptable for a library to be available in static form
    only; these cases include:

    [...]

    * libraries which are explicitly intended to be available only in static
    form by their upstream author(s)

    Err, which part of 'in static only' suggests you mix static and shared?
