It's disappointing that such decisions, well-meaning as they are, wind
up breaking other pcakges that, even still, are available in repos.
Software Center doesn't properly inform the user what is broken when
they try to install such a package, only that there is a problem they
need to fix. And
My solution has been to install Erlang OTP from the repository at
erlangsolutions.com, which is a full OTP. I haven't figured out a way to
convince packages like wings3d that it satisfies the erlang dependency, but
I suspect it's possible. I mostly use erlang for programming, so I haven't
put in
I cannot install wings3d because of this bug, can we get a resolution?

As a person who is using erlang with a wx interface (the easiest way to
get a gui with erlang), and I think the decision to make it impossible
to get the full OTP erlang from Ubuntu is a clearcut example of a
foolish consistency.

erlang should not depend on wxwidgets2.8
This is kind of a nonsensical arbitrary decision. Moving forward
Erlang's preference is to use wx for GUI frontends (in particular the
debugging and monitoring tools included with the Distribution)
eventually deprecating the old tk based tools. It seems odd that a core

Please disregard my last comment. I found that there is an 'erlang-dev'
PPA available which I intend to use. That should pretty much take care
of my erlang development needs.
Thanks.

I agree with the other posters that this is an unfortunate situation.
Is there any way to provide an alternative, non-crippled version of
Erlang/OTP that includes the wx module. erlang-wx is required for some
useful programs.

Never mind my last comment, I manually compiled my version of the whole
OTP, installed it in /opt/erlang with ./configure --prefix=/opt/erlang.
Then added to my .bashrc the following export
PATH=/opt/bin/erlang:$PATH. I put /opt/bin/erlang first so when I run
erl it finds the executable in /opt/

wx has to be available at package build time in order for erlang to build
against it.

Have you actually used these packages? Reltool obviously needs the wx
library since it is a graphical tool developed with the new library. See

It's a little disappointing that the Ubuntu distribution of erlang-OTP
does not include a functional wx library, since that is now a standard
part of the OTP definition. Why have erlang if you're not going to have
the real thing?

Thank you very much, Steve! As CouchDB is by definition a free and open
source document-oriented database written in the Erlang programming
language, it will be really difficult to find a non erlang-dependent
implementation :-).

Hi Martin,
You wrote it should definately not b-d on wxwidgets.
Could you please explain why do you think so?
wxWidgets binding (wxErlang) is the one of the main features in
Erlang/OTP R13 release, and AFAIK many of the standard OTP applications
(like debugger, etop, pman, et cetera) which use
Because wxwidgets is a toolkit with a massive code footprint that we
cannot and should not support in the main archive, which means that so
long as erlang is needed by other packages in Ubuntu main, it will not
build-depend on wxwidgets.

Thank you very much for this explanation!
So, it's easier to download wxwidgets erlang in source and build it. No
problem ;)
One more question to you all.
Could you please point me somewhere where I can find out which packages in main

I suppose that's couchdb, but may be some

Darn. It would be nice if erlang-wx were still available from Universe.
I’d have used it in a program.

So if we remove support for wxwindows, this would mean to:
- drop the erlang-wx binary package (universe)
- Drop the immediate reverse dependencies, which are all built by the erlang
source: erlang-reltool erlang-megaco erlang-debugger erlang-common-test
None of these packages have reverse
I don't think that -megaco, -common-test, and -reltool actually use wx,
so I'll just drop the dependency. But I'll double-check.
