Bug#365477: eclipse: FTBFS, needs bzip2 in Build-Depends:

Package: eclipse
Version: 3.1.2-1
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source
Tags: patch

Hello,

I am eagerly awaiting eclipse 3.1.2, and 
even though I have i386 machines to my disposal, I noticed on the
buildd.debian.org report page
http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?arch=&pkg=eclipse
that it FTBFS on several other architectures because it can't find bzip2.
Probably there are also lots of other "features", but until it gets
compiled on different architectures, we can't see them.

here is the part of the buildd report:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
mkdir -p "/build/buildd/eclipse-3.1.2/source-tree"
(cd "/build/buildd/eclipse-3.1.2/source-tree" && tar xfj
../"upstream/eclipse-sourceBuild-srcIncluded-3.1.2.tar.bz2" > /dev/null)
tar: bzip2: Cannot exec: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
make: *** [uncompress-stamp] Error 2
******************************************************************************
Build finished at 20060318-1347
FAILED [dpkg-buildpackage died]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
it fails because tar xfj invokes bzip2 and bzip2 is not in
the build-depends.
Maybe upstream changed from using gzip to using bzip2 for their archive.

This looks like it is the cause of failure for the following builds:
alpha and powerpc on 2006-03-18
amd64 on 2006-03-28
ia64 on 2006-04-26
sparc on 2006-04-27

good luck,
Frits Daalmans

PS: please tell me how I can turn the sentence "bzip2 is not in the
build-depends" into a valid patch for the debian/control file?
I'm not a debian developer.

PPS: to rmurray at debian.org: that service, of showing the build reports
of buildd, is VERY USEFUL.
