    Hello Guillem,
    I saw the update which hit the dpkg git repository today and routinely
    wanted to rebuild the translations with the script you provided me
    several years ago (according to the file date 2009). However, it no
    longer works:

    …
    checking for po4a >= 0.59... /usr/bin/po4a
    checking for perl >= 5.28.1... (cached) /usr/bin/perl
    checking for pod2man... pod2man
    checking whether to build with code coverage... no
    checking for special C compiler options needed for large files... no
    checking for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value needed for large files... no
    checking for md5.h... no
    configure: error: in `/tmp/dpkg':

    Sorry for the German. It says
    Directory ... is entered
    No rule to make .... Finished
    Directory .. is left

    Looking at the tree after configure I fail to say *any* Makefile
    outside of "tests".

    So maybe configure is silently broken?

    Greetings

    Helge

    I see in config.log:

    helge@twentytwo:/tmp/dpkg$ apt-file search md5.h | grep -v html | wc -l

    Ok, which one do I need?

    I checked git log but could not find any reference to md5 which seemed
    relevant in the recent commits.

    I guess you do not have libmd-dev installed? This should be part of
    the Build-Depends. An «apt build-dep .» should in theory fix this.
    Let me know if this is not enough or something else is broken.

    Thanks,
    Guillem

    Since I built from git and not not build the package (only the
    documentation) I did not catch this. Installing this package fixed the
    build.

    Thanks!
