[Marcin Juszkiewicz (hrw)]

This patch makes setools build go a bit further. Then it fails like in Debian.

[Laurent Bigonville (bigon)]

I've just made an upload in debian that should fix the FTBFS

I guess that the package can be synced

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

I'm surprised (and a bit appaled) at the number of FTBFS bugs still open in precise. I was able to verify this particular one and will see if I can come up with a debdiff.

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

I backported fix_configure.patch from 3.3.7-1 which according to the changelog should fix this issue but it still fails all the same.

[Andreas Moog (ampelbein)]

Precise is EoL, setting task to Won't Fix.
