Got around to looking at build failures on Ubuntu today (on versions  
where it previously worked).

It turns out that Ubuntu _renamed_ the libzmq packages to libzmq1 and  
the --ignore-missing directive isn’t really what you expect it to be–it  
only  
ignores _repo_ failures, NOT “I’ve never heard of this package  
before”. This combination of these two things is, IMHO, horrific. But I  
don’t  
have a say, so I updated build-gnuradio to use the new package names  
for libzmq. A distribution retroactively changing package names is  
just  
_totally wrong_, in my opinion. But again, I don’t really have a  
say.
