Package: apt Version: 0.5.20 Severity: normal I tried to build the vlc package and apt refused to download the dependencies and claimed that no libcaca-dev fulfills version requirements. When I installed it it still refused to install build-depends and did not give any reason.
I created a package vlc-build which contains the build-depends as depends and build-conficts as conflicts. Installing this package with aptitude revealed that xlibs-pic, libcaca-dev, and libdvdread3 have to be installed manually: xlibs-pic from experimental, libcaca-dev from unstable, libdvdread3 has to be downgraded one revision (0.9.4-4 -> 0.9.4-3) to allow installing libdvdread3-dev. After that aptitude was able to install the package automagically, removing x-window-system because different xlibmesa?-gl was needed. -----vlc_0.7.0-3.dsc----- Format: 1.0 Source: vlc Version: 0.7.0-3 Binary: gvlc, vlc-esd, vlc-plugin-sdl, vlc, qvlc, vlc-plugin-esd, vlc-plugin-arts, libvlc0-dev, kvlc, vlc-alsa, vlc-plugin-alsa, vlc-plugin-svgalib, vlc-ggi, mozilla-plugin-vlc, vlc-plugin-glide, vlc-glide, gnome-vlc, vlc-gnome, vlc-plugin-ggi, wxvlc, vlc-qt, vlc-sdl, vlc-gtk Maintainer: Sam Hocevar (Debian packages) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: any Standards-Version: 3.6.1.0 Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4.0), gettext, xlibs-dev, xlibs-pic, libgnome-dev, libggi2-dev, libglide2-dev [i386], libesd0-dev, libsdl1.2-dev (>= 1.2.2-3.1), libqt3-mt-dev, libqt3-compat-headers, libasound2-dev (>= 0.9.0beta10a), libarts1-dev, libmad0-dev, liblircclient-dev, liba52-0.7.4-dev, aalib1-dev, libdvbpsi2-dev, mozilla-dev, libidl0, libglib2.0-0, kdelibs4-dev, dvb-dev (>= 1.0.1-6), libdv2-dev, libxosd-dev (>= 2.2.4-1.3), svgalibg1-dev (>= 1.4.0) [i386], libogg-dev, libvorbis-dev, libwxgtk2.4-dev (>= 2.4.2.4), libdvdplay0-dev (>= 1.0.1-2), libdvdread3-dev, libslp-dev, libflac-dev (>= 1.1.0), libimlib2-dev, libmatroska-dev (>= 0.6.2), libfreetype6-dev, libspeex-dev, linux-kernel-headers (>= 2.5.999-test7-bk-7), libcaca-dev (>= 0.8), gcc-3.2 [powerpc] Build-Conflicts: libmpeg2-dev, libmpeg2-0-dev, libmpeg2-1-dev, libmpeg2-2-dev, libmpeg2-3-dev Files: d67d2766385ee6179839b56588d64d0c 8880304 vlc_0.7.0.orig.tar.gz bba28a718019ad87903cf0bae847a16d 4304 vlc_0.7.0-3.diff.gz -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT ""; APT::Architecture "i386"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; APT::DefaultāRelease "testing"; Dir "/"; Dir::State "var/lib/apt/"; Dir::State::lists "lists/"; Dir::State::cdroms "cdroms.list"; Dir::State::userstatus "status.user"; Dir::State::status "/var/lib/dpkg/status"; Dir::Cache "var/cache/apt/"; Dir::Cache::archives "archives/"; Dir::Cache::srcpkgcache "srcpkgcache.bin"; Dir::Cache::pkgcache "pkgcache.bin"; Dir::Etc "etc/apt/"; Dir::Etc::sourcelist "sources.list"; Dir::Etc::vendorlist "vendors.list"; Dir::Etc::vendorparts "vendors.list.d"; Dir::Etc::main "apt.conf"; Dir::Etc::parts "apt.conf.d"; Dir::Etc::preferences "preferences"; Dir::Bin ""; Dir::Bin::methods "/usr/lib/apt/methods"; Dir::Bin::dpkg "/usr/bin/dpkg"; DPkg ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs:: "/usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true"; -- /etc/apt/preferences -- Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-priority: 400 Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-priority: 990 Package: grub Pin: release a=stable Pin-priority: 999 -- /etc/apt/sources.list -- #
