Hello Gustavo,
it sounds like you are using very old sources or source packages. Many
things have changed since then. As far as i remember the package with
the name "python" was removed and replaced by "python2" and "python3"
during the python3 transition.
When you really are interested in compiling the old sources then the
dependency "python" of the package should be changed to "python2"
because the old sources contain scripts for python version 2.
But i strongly recommend to use the newest available version of the core
package available at www.sourceforge.net. During 2021 I modyfied all
python scripts to use python3 and a lot of Bugfixing was done to the c
sourcecode as well.
The drawback is, that currently no build system for debian packages
exists in the repository. This is up to you...
To build the binary files, you can use something like this in a bash script:
#####
TMP_DIR="$(mktemp -d "/tmp/$(basename "$0")_XXXXXX")" || exit 1
SYNCE_CORE_PATH="${TMP_DIR}/synce-core"
# Download sources from SourceForge
svn export "https://svn.code.sf.net/p/synce/code/trunk/core";
"${SYNCE_CORE_PATH}" || exit 1
cd "${SYNCE_CORE_PATH}" || exit 1
# Build sourcecode with non-root user
export PATH="$PATH:/sbin"
export CFLAGS="-O2"
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var || exit 1
make clean || exit 1
make || exit 1
echo "build successful"
#####
The following debian packages (bullseye) should be installed to compile
the sources:
libglib2.0-dev libdbus-1-dev libgudev-1.0-dev autoconf automake libtool
make g++
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Arndt

Good afternoon guys
My name is Gustavo, I am working with the Synce PPA sources to make a
DEB version for the current Debian stable */"Bullseye"/*. I am not a
developer, my specialty is system administration. In the past I've been
encouraged to make minor changes to Synce's Python source to adapt it to
my needs (in Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy). Today, making an updated version for
Debian is a major challenge for me. I am focused on five packages:
/*libmimedir*/, */librra/*, */librtfcomp /*libraries along with
*/synce-core/* and */synce-sync-engine/*.
For this purpose, I am using this post as a guide:

<https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/connection-linux-pda-windowsce-4175560071/#post5465293>
I prepared the build system with pbuilder, and the result was something
strange, unexpected.
At the end of the operation, the output indicates that there are
unsatisfied dependencies, but these packages are installed in the same
or higher version
$ sudo /usr/sbin/pbuilder build
