You've got the upstream tarball for 1.1.2 but you've matched that with the Debian packaging for 1.0.0-git-1. It's not surprising that the patches don't work. As advised by Medhi in the bug report, if you try to build 1.1.3 in both versions it works. dget will download the orig.tar.bz2 as well as the Debian packaging and will always ensure that the version of the packaging precisely matches the version of the upstream it was intended to build. Lowering the severity of this bug to stop it interfering with the release, I'll let the VLC maintainers close it if they agree that the original steps to reproduce showed an invalid build method. (The patch tag is meant to be used when you have supplied a patch that fixes the problem, not when the problem itself is due to an existing patch not working.) Same problem with vlc_1.1.3.ori.tar.bz2 Match vla_1.1.3.orig.tar.bz2 with the Debian packaging *for* version 1.1.3-1 (as Mehdi detailed in this comment), and it builds fine. If there remain issues with how 1.1.3-1 operates once it is built, please explain in a reply to the bug report. -- Neil Williams = http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/ pgpxtLEpZept5.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

Do we then perhaps need to beware of this for helper tools like lintian and dh_shlibdeps? the other point is of course, whether tools like dh_shlibdeps and dh_strip work correctly. i can only say from experience, that they do. e.g. the binary Gem.pd_linux in the package gem is correctly stripped and the package depends on all packages that provide libraries the binary has been dynamically linked to. debian/rules does not extra care of shlibs. so it seems to just work It seems it's not dh_strip who does the stripping. In the case of the gem package it seems to happen already at compile time. After putting an unstripped Gem.pd_linux in the temporary directory running dh_strip won't touch it all. dh_strip doesn't strip anything it doesn't recognize (and it has no way of being forced into it). Add comments to bug #468333 to ask for support for this. Thanks for confirming. In the meantime, you can call strip --remove-section=.comment --remove-section=.note --strip-unneeded on each of the pd_linux files. Ok. Also it seems as if dh_shlibdeps looks only for .so-files. I haven't figured out what trickery was used in the gem package to let it find also .pd_linux-files. But having a plain .pd-linux file in the temporary directory and running dh_shlibdeps doesn't produce anything useful. You can pass additional arguments for dh_shlibdeps to process: dh_shlibdeps -- $file1 $file2 Ah, so easy. Thanks for the hint.

Dir Sir, I just compiling VLC 1.1.3 according to your process, all thing done and i get correctly the .deb Packages. Many thanks, to you and Neil Williams for your help. For your information i am a retired man, 65 years old, and my pleasure is to test new think on Linux Debian. I use Linux since 1994 and DEBIAN since 2001.

Bug#591881: vlc-nox: package fails to upgrade properly from lenny
2010/8/27 Reinhard Tartler siret...@tauware.de: On Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 17:29:43 (CEST), David Kalnischkies wrote: 2010/8/26 Reinhard Tartler siret...@tauware.de: I'm still waiting for an answer on this question. Is this issue solved with the latest upload, or do you prefer me to upload the patch posted above? It would be nice if you could fix it in your package (which at least feels a bit cleaner anyway: liba2 breaks liba1 sounds saner than libpartlyunrelated breaks liba1). After preparing an upload for this, I've tried to reproduce this issue myself in a virtual machine. The thing is, I've not been able to reproduce this neither with lenny's apt, nor squeeze's apt (0.7.25.3) nor sid's (0.8.0) apt. What I've did was: - do a basic lenny installation - apt-get install install ffmpeg - sed -i s,lenny,sid,g /etc/apt/sources.list - apt-get update -qq - apt-get install ffmpeg - do a basic lenny installation - apt-get install vlc-nox - sed -i s,lenny,sid,g /etc/apt/sources.list - apt-get update -qq - apt-get dist-upgrade should show the problem ( i don't test it with chroot but by creating status and Packages files with the package universe needed as used by apt/test/integration/ as i don't want to test the actual installation, but the theory is the same ). As i tried to describe above APT rates the package which should be removed as too important - at least compared to the package it can fix with this remove, so if you see this error or not depends on the installed packages: With ffmpeg is the dependency chain strong enough to indicate that libavcodec51 has to leave, if you have only vlc-nox (which doesn't require ffmpeg) installed the chain isn't strong enough. Also, requesting a package explicitly with install will modify the scoring so you will likely get a different situation compared to a dist-upgrade. So, in summary: Its possible that no normal user will ever see this upgrade problem as such a user will likely have more packages installed which depend on these libav* stuff… (you only need to define what a normal user is now…) Best regards David Kalnischkies ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

Re: clibgrab review: was: Introduction
I did not understand the thing with the itp-bug. Because clipgrab.xpm and the name is not licensed under the GPLv3, I added the original copyright file to the package. The author allowed me to use it with the Debian package. I am still no member of a team, so where the maintainer field should point to? The description is not terse, the program doesn't do more, that I have descriped. I have corrected the desktop file and removed libstdc++-dev from the build dependencies. -- gpg-id: B4F786B1 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
