    gnucap as a source package shipping runtime libraries whose ABI

    Dear Lukas.

    Thanks for your work.

    I'm very certain that we do not use time_t anywhere. Certainly not explicitly, and there is no time_t mentioned in any library interface,
    leave alone header file.

    Hence I believe this is a false positive. To remain on the safe side,
    i'm happy to investigate the assessment if needed. Feel free to provide
    any log files or evidence from the analysis.

    Hi Felix!

    Thank you for reaching out. Checking our latest abi-compliance-checker analysis logs [1] shows that your package might indeed be a false positive. It failed to analyze and therefore was included in our list, just to be on the safe side.

    If you're sure that gnucap would not be affected you can ignore the NMU and close this bug report.
