Will this fix be backported for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS ? Because this morning I still see: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libthunar-vfs-1-2: Depends: libgamin0 but it is not going to be installed
I gave a try this morning into fixing the problem (with success) by changing theses: Source: thunar Section: xfce Priority: optional Maintainer: Xubuntu Developers <[email protected]> XSBC-Original-Maintainer: Debian Xfce Maintainers <[email protected]> Uploaders: Yves-Alexis Perez <[email protected]>, Emanuele Rocca <[email protected]>, Simon Huggins <[email protected]> Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7), libcairo2-dev, libexo-0.3-dev (>= 0.3.100), cdbs, libxml-parser-perl, libgamin-dev, to: libexo-0.3-dev (>= 0.3.100), cdbs, libxml-parser-perl, libgamin-dev | libfam-dev, and this: Package: thunar Section: xfce Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}, desktop-file-utils, shared-mime-info, thunar-data (= ${source:Version}), exo-utils Recommends: hal, dbus-x11, gamin, ${shlibs:Recommends}, thunar-volman, xdg-user-dirs to: Recommends: hal, dbus-x11, gamin | fam, ${shlibs:Recommends}, thunar-volman, xdg-user-dirs I can then install all the build dependancies and start a proper build using libfam-dev instead of gamin. At the end of the build the ${shlibs:Depends} of thunar gets translated to this (from file libthunar-vfs-1-2.substvars at deb creation time): shlibs:Depends=libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.29.3), libc6 (>= 2.11), libcairo2 (>= 1.2.4), libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.0.2), libdbus-glib-1-2 (>= 0.78), libexif12, libexo-0.3-0 (>= 0.3.100), libfam0, libfontconfig1 (>= 2.8.0), libfreetype6 (>= 2.2.1), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.23.5), libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.10.1), libhal-storage1 (>= 0.5.8.1), libhal1 (>= 0.5.8.1), libjpeg62, libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.14.0), libpcre3 (>= 7.7), libpng12-0 (>= 1.2.13-4), libxfce4util4 (>= 4.6.0), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4) misc:Depends= Where it becomes linked to libfam0 instead of libgamin0 and declared as is in the debian package. Now, since package libgamin0 provides an equivalent to libfam0 this should allow to use gamin OR fam with thunar... Package: libgamin0 Section: libs Architecture: any Depends: ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}, gamin Conflicts: libfam0c102, libfam0 Provides: libfam0c102, libfam0 Replaces: libfam0c102, libfam0 Package: libgamin-dev Section: libdevel Architecture: any Depends: ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}, libgamin0 (= ${binary:Version}) Conflicts: libfam-dev Provides: libfam-dev Replaces: libfam-dev Now the questions becomes: 1) Should fam declare that it can provide gamin? (libfam0 provides libgamin0)... Having libfam0 would then work properly what ever the dependancies are... -- OR -- 2) Should thunar be mentionning in it's build-deb that it links to libfam-dev by default? And thus use "fam | gamin" instead of the reverse so that fam becomes the default... I have a strong feeling that it will always libgamin0 anyway since most probably build on a system running gamin and not fam. -- OR -- 3) Having the deb making sure it change the automatic translation of ${shlibs:Depends} in libthunar-vfs-1-2.substvars so that it stipulates "libgamin0 | libfam0" ... -- OR -- 4) Perhaps simply manually adding the "libgamin0 | libfam0" into the Depends: of thunar so it does'nt get superseeded by the ${shlibs:Depends} translation at build creation time? Personally I'd try the option 4) ... (with perhaps with the order ${shlibs:Depends} should be in the Depends:) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/776503 Title: xfce dependancy problem with fam vs gamin To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfdesktop4/+bug/776503/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
