You need to use some form of build chroot as documented in
/usr/share/doc/libelogind0/README.Debian. Also see bug #435[1] and related.

HTH.

Actually I install proprietary apps like Zoom as I need them with 
Flatpak these times. It works perfectly well on Devuan.

I use FlatSeal flatpak app to review and possibly restrict access of Zoom 
and other apps to my home directory.

Startup time of Flatpak apps is a bit longer, but… I can shield my data 
a bit better from access by these apps.

Best,

[DNG] Skype crashes

2021-12-05 Thread Haines Brown
I'm running Chimera. I downloaded current version of skypeforlinux
and installed it. The annoying prompts for password to keyring
I skip.

The audo and video test ok. But when I try to make a free test call, 
Skype crashes.

Yes, the PDF is a complete description of a number of pages.

It is possible to change some things by pre-pending some Postscript to change 
the meaning of some verbs, though it’s so long (couple of decades) since I last 
fiddled at this level that I can’t remember the details. So you could turn 
pages around (rotate the content by 90˚), but that won’t reflow any 
text/re-arrange the contents.

One trick I do recall doing was where we printed inbound faxes on our SCO 
OpenServer system at a previous job. I changed the meaning of the “showpage” 
operator so that instead of just printing the currently imaged page, it would 
add a header to the page with key details (date, time, number, etc) and then 
print the imaged page.
At the same place I also did a custom text-ps script, adding in options to use 
some of the printer specific features we had on our printers - like doing A3 
landscape on a laser instead of printing to the old green lined fanfold.

[DNG] libfluidsynth-dev requires libsystemd0, fails to install

2021-12-05 Thread Nicola Orrù via Dng
Hi all,

I'm trying to build a LV2 plugin from source.

The plugin requires libfluidsynth-dev.

Attempting to install libfluidsynth-dev produces the following error:


nico@lenovo-devuan:~/Projects/3rdParty/Fluida.lv2$ sudo apt install
libfluidsynth-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libelogind0 : Conflicts: libsystemd0
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be
caused by held packages.

the non-dev version of the library seems fine.

You need to write the complete name of the package, including also 
the .deb extension.



For example:

# dpkg -i libdconf1_0.38.0-2_amd64.deb

HTH,

Aitor.



 Or

# dpkg -i ./lib*deb

if it is the only lib* deb-package in that directory.
