[Michał Rudolf]

Is this a problem with Debian package? Has something changed recently?

[jsbien]

Compilation fails on Ubuntu because of missing dependencies. It is the first attempt to compile on the this version of Ubuntu. On Debian wheezy the package is prepared with no problems.

[Michał Rudolf]

Is the Debian package description used on Ubuntu as well?

[jsbien]

Yes, but the problem occurs when installing by hand the packages from the Build-depends field.

[Michał Rudolf]

How it can be fixed? Are some dependencies missing? Or outdated?

Maybe the files are missing only from Polish Ubuntu mirror?

[jsbien]

It's also possible that the names of packages are different - to be checked in some future.

[Michał Rudolf]

I can only check Ubuntu 13.04, I don't have access to older versions.

[jsbien]

We (JB & JSB) can check later on 12.04 LTS.

[jsbien]

For the time being I will test only under Debian. After resolving the problem on 13.04 the issue can be assigned to JB for testing on 12.04.

[Michał Rudolf]

Makes sense, I will try there.

[Michał Rudolf]

What should I use to test it?

dpkg-buildpackage -B

fails here (no file src/djview4poliqarp).

The program definitely compiles and runs under Ubuntu 13.04 when not using debian packages. The package libdrm is installed here though I don't know if it is necessary.

The error mentioned above is definitely not associated with Djview4poliqarp or its debian package. The most likely reasons are: network problems or outdated Polish Ubuntu mirror.

[Michał Rudolf]

Reported problem is not related with the packed.

[jsbien]

What about

dpkg-buildpackage -b -rfakeroot

?

What dpkg-buildpackage run in the correct directory? File

  src/djview4poliqarp

definitely exists.

[jsbien]

After upgrading Ubuntu the problem is now different: a higher version of libqt4-dev is requested. Does the program really need the recent version of the library?

Ubuntu 12.04 is the current stable version and will be in use till 2017, so djview4poliqarp should be usable on this platform.

[Michał Rudolf]

What is the exact error message?

The version requirement comes from djview sources, there is no such requirement in djview4poliqarp.

[jsbien]

Don't remember the exact wording, but the message is a standard one: requested packed version X not available.

[Michał Rudolf]

I need the exact message and version to search configure scripts.

[jsbien]

The dependency comes from Build-Depends field in djview-poliqarp/debian/control, but I don't know who set the present value- perhaps Bottou, perhaps Chimosz.

[Michał Rudolf]

Qt >= 4.2 is requested by control file, but it was released in 2006, so it looks something is wrong in the file. Can you try renaming libqt to libqt4 in the file?

[jsbien]

Let put it on hold till my return.

[Michał Rudolf]

Looks like it works, I am putting in on hold for now.
