As htmlgen has entered the archives in 1998 at revision 2.1 and
furthermore has no (Build-)Depends on anything fltk-like, I suppose
this was meant for another package...?

Unfortunately it eludes me which package this might be.

Cheers,

Reassigning now and CCing the maintainer of htmldoc so he gets aware
of this.

I can confirm that the only binary htmldoc packages I have built (i386)
were built on an unstable system updated that day. The current version,
1.8.24-2, appears to be fine on all architectures besides arm and
powerpc, which appear to be out of date. The problems with arm seem to
be caused by a lag in the C++ migration, and the powerpc problem seems
to be in libpng instead of htmldoc.

Perhaps the autobuilders for those two architectures could be persuaded
to try again, since they haven't tried in over a month.

In the meantime, given that htmldoc does build properly with any version
of fltk 1.1 that is provided, perhaps you could explain what is wrong
with the build dependency that is there.

Thanks.

The problem was seen with -1 (the binary depending on libstdc++6 and
libfltk1.1c102). IMO it's still wrong to upload a package without
tightened version dependencies, before all depending C++ libraries are
in the archive for all architectures. If you want to do the upload,
without all architectures at the new fltk1.1 version, then you have to
tighten the build dependencies.

Yes, I recall the problem with -1. And I see your point. I prefer that
the build deps not lie, so stable people can use the source package for
as long as possible, but I should then wait for the library transition
to complete for all architectures.

I have a few other little things to clean up, so I will go ahead and do
a -3, which should fix all the problems (possibly modulo the powerpc
issue).

htmldoc has been built on the ppc autobuilder now, FWIW.
