Bug Description

This is already fixed via Debian in Trusty:

check (0.9.10-6) unstable; urgency=low

  * add -pthread to both --libs and --cflags of check.pc (sigh)

 -- Robert Lemmen <email address hidden> Mon, 25 Nov 2013 20:10:47 +0000

This causes incorrect linking in saucy. See https://launchpadlibrarian.net/168496724/buildlog_ubuntu-saucy-amd64.clamav_0.98.1%2Bdfsg-2ubuntu1~13.10~ppa1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz for an example. This package builds fine on precise, quantal, and trusty.

From the build logs:
Saucy:
configure: Summary of miscellaneous features
              check : -lcheck_pic -lrt -lm
Trusty:
configure: Summary of miscellaneous features
              check : -pthread -lcheck_pic -lrt -lm

The fix is to SRU the -6 change into Saucy.

[Impact]

 * Some packages will fail to build. Since not all packages were rebuilt after the new (broken) check version landed during Saucy development, there may be, in addition to PPA packages like the example, archive packages when cannot be built for security updates, SRU, etc.

[Test Case]

 * See the above build log for reproduction.

 * Once the new check package is in -proposed, i'll add -proposed to the PPA and retry. If it builds, win.

[Regression Potential]

 * Regression potential is negligible.

I added the fixed package to that PPA and retried one build. It worked. I'll remove it now so that the same can be done with the package I just uploaded for -proposed.

Hello Scott, or anyone else affected,

Accepted check into saucy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/check/0.9.10-4ubuntu1.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.
