Bug#378510: googleearth-package: missing dependencies
Hi, The deps are generated by dpkg-shlibdeps, so if it's picking up those versions, it's because dpkg thinks that's what it should use. Chances are that the system where the binary deb was built had those experimental libraries installed. Okay, I've looked a bit deeper into that: - libc6 2.3.99 from experimental reports itself as 2.4 - that's why dpkg-shlibs failed on that. Nothing to take care of here. - googleearth brings it's own libstdc++.so.6, so we can safely ignore it in the dependencies on libstdc++6 and it from the Depends-line. - the warnings in the kind of 'dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: format of `NEEDED ./libmath.so' not recognized' result from dpkg-shlibdeps not beeing able to take care of the libraries googleearth brings in it's own directory. And this finally results in missing dependencies, at least libgl1-mesa-glx | libgl1, libx11-6. This is a SERIOUS bug. A dpkg-shlibdeps on every one of the 'NEEDED' libraries and a sort -u is imho a good way to resolve this. It should also be made sure that it's not possible to build the package without having all neccessary dependencies installed. - Not to forget that the packaging part needs a serious rewrite: tar/ar is not the way to create a package - but that's a different bug#.

I recommend building the googleearth package on a clean test or unstable system without any mixed libraries from other dists, or, alternately, just rebuilding the googleearth package on the exact system you are going to install it on. that's what I did. I've build the binary package a minute before trying to install it on the same system. While building it I've got a few warnings as mentioned in #378504. Everything else worked well.
