freeciv 2.5.6-2 in zesty-proposed currently fails to build from source with the following error message:

I get the same error message when attempting to build the package on my Zesty vm, but it worked fine on Debian Sid, so it looks like an Ubuntu-only issue.

I get a same error on xenial, it looks like it's a problem with finding the q5 devel files:

checking Qt5 libraries... not found
configure: error: selected client 'qt' cannot be built: Missing Qt5 development files

Fixed released in 2.5.6-2ubuntu1. The problem was this change from Debian:

  * Export all hardening build flags and use -pie again. (Closes: #844198)
