[09:54] <cpaelzer> doko: once you are around it would be great if you could let me know if you agree and schedule a python3 rebuild or if it is more complex than that
[09:54] <cpaelzer> because in case of the latter we might (for now) add some silly but working [10:09] <doko> cpaelzer: uploaded

And I see [1] building:
python3.7 (3.7.4-4) unstable; urgency=medium
  * Update to 20190904 from the 3.7 branch.

There is no bug reference, so it won't be updated automatically.
But I might recheck if it reached proposed later and then retest a samba build.

Thanks Doko for the quick upload, it seems you had an upload in mind
anyway :-)

  python3.7 might need a rebuild against the new glibc 2.30 - fails with
  stropts define

Bug description:
  Hi,
  this was triggered by an issue rebuilding samba in Eoan.

  In file included from ../../source4/heimdal_build/krb5-types.h:8,                
                   from ../../source4/heimdal/lib/krb5/krb5.h:42,                  
                   from ../../lib/replace/system/kerberos.h:33,                    
                   from ../../auth/credentials/pycredentials.c:34:                 
  ../../lib/replace/system/network.h:91:10: fatal error: stropts.h: No such file or directory
     91 | #include <stropts.h>                                                     
        |          ^~~~~~~~~~~  

  After some initial confusion it turned out that nothing in samba
  enables HAVE_STROPTS_H and the configure stage properly detects:

  Checking for header stropts.h                                : no

  Never the less this triggered:
  ../../lib/replace/system/network.h
  #ifdef HAVE_STROPTS_H
  #include <stropts.h>
  #endif

  And due to glibc 2.30 containing [1] no stropts files are shipped anymore.
  Therefore the above failure happens and the build aborts.

  But since nothing in samba defines HAVE_STROPTS_H I had to reach out
  and checked an eoan-proposed build environment. There I found that
  python (this part of samba builds pycredentials.c and therefore has
  python related includes) is the root cause for this.

  usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/python3.7m/pyconfig.h:986:#define
  HAVE_STROPTS_H 1

  So everything that includes pyconfig.h direct or indirect and then
  based on HAVE_STROPTS_H will include stropts.h will be a broken build
  right now.

  pyconfig.h is generated on the build of python, so I guess we need a
  no change rebuild of python to resolve this?
