I see. The package dependencies aren't defined correctly in the package, libebook-1.2-14 is also acceptable but not listed. FWIW, I already revised the automated testing the last view days. It now includes real install tests of these packages. I'm not with it yet, so I haven't actually seen the results for Saucy (= 13.10), but I expect I'll see the same failure as you did. Anyway, you can install with "aptitude install syncevolution-bundle". That installs the same package, without enforcing dependencies on Evolution. The resulting binaries will then work with EDS 3.8 (that's something that I had tested when releasing 1.3.99.6). -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. _______________________________________________ SyncEvolution mailing list [email protected] https://lists.syncevolution.org/mailman/listinfo/syncevolution
