[07:05] <dholbach> good morning
[08:32] <zequence> Anyone available for a fairly simple upload (artwork update)? lp:ubuntustudio-menu
[21:36] <Noskcaj> What's the process for syncing a package that depends on a virtual package?
[22:06] <cjwatson> Noskcaj: No different from syncing anything else, normally.  Example?
[22:07] <Noskcaj> cjwatson, a program called transcriber. It's got two RC bugs fixed in the latest debian release, but won't pdebuild because "Depends: tcl-snack-dev which is a virtual package.                                 Depends: tclex (>= 1.2a1-3) but it is not going to be installed.
[22:08] <Noskcaj> tclex is -15 in saucy and tcl-snack-dev is tcl-snack2-dev
[22:08] <cjwatson> That may just be a bug in your builder configuration.
[22:08] <cjwatson> Let me try the current Debian version in sbuild.
[22:08] <Noskcaj> ok, then i should request a sync?
[22:08] <cjwatson> Let me try the current Debian version in sbuild.
[22:09] <Noskcaj> ok
[22:09] <cjwatson> (sbuild is generally a more reliable match for what LP does than pbuilder is.)
[22:10] <cjwatson> (Especially when run with --resolve-alternatives.)
[22:11] <cjwatson> However, no, this package doesn't build in saucy right now, so you can't sync it.
[22:12] <cjwatson> But "virtual package" is a bad way to describe it, even though apt sometimes says that when it's sort of heard of a package from somewhere but not really
[22:12] <cjwatson> sbuild says:
[22:12] <cjwatson> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[22:12] <cjwatson>  sbuild-build-depends-transcriber-dummy : Depends: tcl-snack-dev but it is not installable
[22:13] <cjwatson> It needs a new snack first, although that's a fairly substantial delta right now.
[22:13] <Noskcaj> ok
[22:13] <cjwatson> For saucy it would probably be wiser to cherry-pick the fixes to transcriber.
[22:14] <Noskcaj> I'll have a look at that when i get home
