[FTBFS] Gutsy Wine not in repository; 64-bit failed to build

[TJ]

Binary package hint: wine

I was confused at not being able to find Wine in the Gutsy 64-bit repository, then checked the build log and saw that back in July the build failed.

What does MOTU Media have to do with this? Wine isn't particularly mediaful.

Additionally, please don't confirm your own bugs, or at least look for dupes.

MOTU-media is listed as the maintainer of the source package in the source-package portlet at

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine

The bug *is* confirmed since buildd clearly reports "Status: Failed to build" at

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine/0.9.42-0ubuntu1/+build/369432

The build log shows:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.1.3/../../../../lib/libsicuuc.a(ubidi.ao): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

I neglected to mention since I thought it obvious, but winehq have a a 64-bit build of 0.9.42 for Feisty (which so far has worked without issues on Gutsy) at:

http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html

and therefore there seemed to be a clear problem if it is built there but not on buildd.

Hi, I'm the author of the upstream packages. I am actively working on putting the package in Gutsy, so far there are only a few things to clear before it can go in. Don't worry.
