Mathieu Benoit 09ef26798a [FIX] the build host answered questions the target should
Five packages, one shape: a default computed from this machine rather than
from Arch, and arch-meson's --auto-features enabled turning what was optional
into a requirement.

dbus taught the method. It stopped three times in a row on a different
documentation tool -- ducktype, then yelp-build, then qhelpgenerator. The
first two were installed. The third needs Qt, so the chain had no end. All
three are `auto` features promoted to mandatory; pinned off, they cost
nothing. A single missing library is a host dependency. A queue of them is a
feature that should be disabled.

pinentry wanted Qt6 for a passphrase prompt; tty and curses remain.
krb5 asked for a system ss library Ubuntu ships no headers for, and said
"cannot run test program" instead of saying so.
sqlite found tcl, then installed into share/tcltk because Ubuntu's
tclConfig.sh says so and Arch's says lib.
gettext linked the host's libselinux, silently -- the sixth package to do it,
and the first the audit caught rather than a build.

--- FR ---

Cinq paquets, une seule forme : une valeur par défaut calculée depuis cette
machine plutôt que depuis Arch, et le --auto-features enabled d'arch-meson qui
transforme l'optionnel en exigence.

dbus a enseigné la méthode. Il s'est arrêté trois fois de suite sur un outil
de documentation différent — ducktype, puis yelp-build, puis qhelpgenerator.
Les deux premiers ont été installés. Le troisième exige Qt : la chaîne ne
terminait nulle part. Les trois sont des features `auto` promues en
obligations ; épinglées à disabled, elles ne coûtent rien. Une bibliothèque
manquante est une dépendance hôte. Une file d'attente en est une
fonctionnalité à désactiver.

pinentry réclamait Qt6 pour une invite de mot de passe ; tty et curses
suffisent.
krb5 demandait une bibliothèque ss système dont Ubuntu ne livre aucun
en-tête, et annonçait « cannot run test program » plutôt que de le dire.
sqlite trouvait tcl, puis installait dans share/tcltk parce que le
tclConfig.sh d'Ubuntu le dit là où celui d'Arch dit lib.
gettext liait le libselinux de l'hôte, en silence — sixième paquet à le
faire, et le premier que l'audit a pris plutôt qu'une compilation.

# krb5: --with-system-ss, and Ubuntu ships no ss headers.
#
# checking whether system ss package works... configure: error: cannot run
# test program
#
# THE TRAP is that message. "cannot run test program" reads like a broken
# cross-compile or a missing loader -- the kind of thing that sends you into
# config.log looking for a link failure on this architecture. It is neither.
# The subsystem library (ss, from e2fsprogs) has no development package on
# Ubuntu at all: libss2 is runtime-only, libss-dev does not exist, and
# e2fslibs-dev has no candidate. There is no ss.h to compile against, so the
# test program cannot be built, let alone run.
#
# Note what IS present, so the two are not confused: --with-system-et works,
# because comerr-dev ships /usr/include/et/com_err.h. Only ss is missing.
#
# krb5 carries its own copy of the subsystem library and uses it when not told
# otherwise, so dropping the flag costs nothing but a slightly larger binary.
# Building e2fsprogs to supply one header would be the other answer; it is not
# worth a package in the closure, and TODO.md records the choice.
