[Bug 557290] Re: Make gnu-smalltalk build on lucid

[Artur Rona]

Maverick package seems to be patched upstream and it got FTBFS on amd64,
powerpc and sparc. So, I'm not sure to applying patch into lucid. Do you
have tested whether this patch fix FTBFS on amd64, powerpc and sparc for
lucid? However, current existing package in lucid has built fine on all
available architectures.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnu-smalltalk

GNU Smalltalk was not buildable on Lucid and was removed from the Lucid Repostory. I have had a look and thanks to the GNU Smalltalk upstream have created a patch that makes it buildable again.

The problem on my lucid installation was that all testcases failed to execute and that is due an issue with the tests/testsuite script and bash 4.0. Paolo provided me with the necessary sed script to make it work for that version.

I'm attaching the patch, but I also have an updated changelog entry and such for the debian package.
