FTBFS: (package) on 32 bit arch's

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=774908

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

Possible fix [1] updates symbol files of libflac++6. This problem is from libflac converting long to long long. On a 32bit system long will evaluate to int32 and on 64bit it will evaulate to int64. The change by libflac is attempting to make the values int64 on all architectures.

If the libflac++6 symbols change, what repercussions does this have to the rest of the packages? Maybe just reverting the libflac long longs to long would be the best fix.

I'm wondering why you added all those libFLAC.so.8 symbols to the
libflac++6 symbol file, seems quite unneeded.
It appears you used all the common symbols + the 32bit specific ones? Is
that any better than just using the common symbols or some other solution?

Sorry about that, this was my first time using debcommit and I wasn't able to view the differences before submitting.

I am going to write a program that can search http://archive.ubuntu.com/ to find a package that depends on libflac++6 and try to compile it with the new symbols. If it doesn't compile this should be an update to the major version of the package upstream.

I believe audacity uses libflac++6
On a side note the same issue may be seen with the upcoming
audacious-3.6 > libaudcore3.symbols though audacious itself doesn't
build-dep on flac at all..
In any event thanks for taking on

This bug was fixed in the package flac - 1.3.1-1ubuntu1

flac (1.3.1-1ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=medium

  * Fix symbols file for 32bit architectures. LP: #1409483.
 -- Matthias Klose <email address hidden> Wed, 04 Mar 2015 15:28:13 +0100

Hi all, I saw that Debian has packaged flac 1.3.1-2. Among others contains a fix for https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=783258 which deals with symbols and sounds related to this one. (Possibly the same issue, which I guess would make the Debian bug watched here a duplicate of the one which was closed.)

I am not able to tell whether this did indeed fix the same issue and whether it would be safe to request a sync of 1.3.1-2 to Ubuntu though. I'll readily admit this goes abit over my head, so could someone who understands the issue more in-depth take a look at the new Debian package? :)

Matthias Klose: Looks like you handled the Ubuntu-fix for this, so I've taken the liberty of subscribing you to this issue.

Well it was the same issue, just took Debian forever to address
(I guess no one noticed orig bug on libflac++6
They've simply removed all the libflac++6 symbols, doesn't cause any issue here (trusty build of flac 1.3.1
(when debian goes to audacious 3.6 they'll get a similar issue, hope it doesn't take 6+ months for them to address that...
