[Bug 1934829] Re: universal-ctags FTBFS with glibc-2.33

[Athos Ribeiro]

I addressed Sergio comments regarding the changelog.

Moreover, I did dig through the armhf failure and I realized the
newfstatat system call is not available there. It then falls back to
calling statx, which is not in the seccomp rules, leading to failure.

I rebuilt the package with an additional fix in the same PPA, at

I am attaching a new debdiff, with an additional patch to fix the armhf
build failure, which I forwarded upstream at
https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags/pull/3125

Title:
  universal-ctags FTBFS  with glibc-2.33

Status in universal-ctags package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in universal-ctags package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  The latest sync from Debian FTBFS [1][2]. This is due to the newer
  version of glibc (2.33) available in impish and in hirsute.

  Since glibc in Debian unstable is at 2.31, the issue does not manifest
  itself there.

  Moreover, this has been fixed upstream [3] and should be included in
  Debian when the package gets updated after the current freeze.
  Therefore, I am attaching a patch to unblock Ubuntu's migration, which
  was not forwarded to Debian. The package builds fine in impish and
  works as expected.
