The new 1.4 sflphone-kde in the PPA still carries a dependency for sflphone-data, which is not in the PPA but instead in the Universe component of the Ubuntu repository (and is version 1.3). I didn't think this would be a problem until I tried to start the client. The client failed to start; in the console window I saw:
steve@t520:~$ sflphone-client-kde sflphone-client-kde(32561): Communication problem with "sflphone-client-kde" , it probably crashed. Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" " Then I noticed that sflphone-daemon wasn't installed. Attempting to install that threw an error: steve@t520:~$ sudo apt-get install sflphone-daemon ... Unpacking sflphone-daemon (1.4.0~ppa1~trusty) ... dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/sflphone-daemon_1.4.0~ppa1~trusty_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/share/sflphone/ringtones/phone2.au', which is also in package sflphone-data 1.3.0-1ubuntu1.2 dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/sflphone-daemon_1.4.0~ppa1~trusty_amd64.deb Using equivs, I created an sflphone-data-dummy package, configured to provide sfphone-data. This allowed me to purge the old sflphone-data and also install sflphone-daemon. I can report that SFLphone appears to operate with this workaround (except for video, but I will send a separate email about that). It would appear that the dependency for sflphone-data should be removed, and a dependency for sflphone-dameon should be added. ...Steve _______________________________________________ SFLphone mailing list [email protected] http://lists.savoirfairelinux.net/mailman/listinfo/sflphone
