[FTBFS] pcp is missing Build-Depends for "libqt5svg5-dev"

[Eric Desrochers]

[Impact]

Since the introduction of default building with Qt5 in 3.12.2 ...

# d/changelog
pcp (3.12.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * New release (full details in CHANGELOG).
  * Default to building with Qt5 (closes: #875093)

pcp version 3.12.2 found in bionic is stalled in -proposed.

# rmadison
 pcp | 3.12.2 | bionic-proposed/universe | source, ppc64el

# excuse.... page

pcp (3.12.1 to 3.12.2)

Depends: pcp perl
Not considered

pcp is failing to build because it misses a Build-Depends for package "libqt5svg5-dev".

[Test Case]

 * Build 3.12.2 as is and it will fail to build :

QT_SELECT=5 /usr/bin/qmake CONFIG+=release && /usr/bin/gawk --posix '$1 == "LIBS" { printf $1; for (i=2;i<=NF;i++) { if ($i~/^-L//) { save=save " " $i; continue } else if (save!="" && $i~/^-l/) { printf " %s",save; save="" } printf " %s",$i } if (save!="") printf " %s",save; print ""; next } { print }' Makefile.fix && mv Makefile.fix Makefile && /usr/bin/make --no-print-directory -f Makefile
Info: creating stash file /<>/src/libpcp_qed/src/.qmake.stash
Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: svg

[Regression Potential]

* No regression expected, assuming pcp upstream did the necessary verification in their manual test build env including the missing dep.

* This fix will make the pkg build to work for bionic.
* Only bionic is needed, as Stable Release aren't at 3.12.2 version yet.

I have contacted Nathan Scott (PCP upstream & debian maintainer) for him to merge the change.
I'll then make sure Ubuntu bionic follows.

Nathan have committed upstream the change I have submitted :

* [e165a12] build: add in a missing a Qt5-specific svg library dependency
 - LP: #1733619
 - Debbug: #881649

Once the above change in debian unstable, I'll proceed with the upload into bionic to unblock the package build which is currently failing due to the missing dependency in both Debian[1] and Ubuntu[2].

No debdiff needed for devel release, the changes from Debian got auto-synced ;)
