| sidi | I have a LP build log for a custom GTK package for my PPA, where the build bot refuses to install deps. Why is that? It says sbuild-build-depends-gtk+3.0-dummy : Depends: libzeitgeist-1.0-1 (>= 0.8) but it is not going to be installed | 20:07 |
|---|---|---|
| teward | sidi: stupid question, but the build, what version does it target (of Ubuntu) | 20:08 |
| cjwatson | sidi: What PPA? | 20:08 |
| teward | and what PPA :) | 20:08 |
| cjwatson | A link to the build would be ideal. | 20:08 |
| teward | ^ that | 20:08 |
| teward | cjwatson: first guess from me was a PPA dependencies issue, but i may be wrong :) | 20:08 |
| cjwatson | That message means that the build-dependency in question is uninstallable in that context, but it needs more investigation to determine why that is. | 20:09 |
| sidi | https://code.launchpad.net/~ucl-cs-study-devs/+archive/ubuntu/multitasking-study | 20:09 |
| teward | mmm | 20:09 |
| sidi | teward, cjwatson thats the build log: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/208514156/buildlog_ubuntu-vivid-amd64.gtk%2B3.0_3.14.13-0ubuntu1ppa3_BUILDING.txt.gz | 20:09 |
| sidi | i'm currently updating the packages (had lots that didnt build before but didnt have time to fix them, so only gtk3's worth looking at right now) | 20:09 |
| cjwatson | sidi: Well, the first question would be why did you add a build-dependency on a specific *runtime* library package? | 20:10 |
| cjwatson | That build-dependency isn't in Ubuntu's gtk+3.0 source package. | 20:10 |
| sidi | cjwatson, because i added it in my code | 20:11 |
| cjwatson | sidi: You would normally build-depend on the development package, not the runtime, though. | 20:11 |
| sidi | cjwatson, my package logs specific API calls using libzeitgeist, hence the dep | 20:11 |
| sidi | cjwatson, oh crap im an idiot | 20:11 |
| cjwatson | Now, that won't actually solve this issue, but build-depending on a runtime is usually a bug except in specialised cases. | 20:12 |
| * sidi is on Arch, forgot about -dev | 20:12 | |
| cjwatson | (The development package will also be uninstallable if the runtime is, normally.) | 20:12 |
| sidi | So, is it correct to add a Build-Depend on libzeitgeist-1.0-dev on the libtgtk package, as well as a Depend on libzeitgeist-1.0-1 for what I want to do? | 20:12 |
| cjwatson | You don't normally need to add manual Depends for this. ${shlibs:Depends} will already be there and will handle that for you. | 20:13 |
| cjwatson | All you need is a Build-Depends: foo-dev in the source package. | 20:13 |
| cjwatson | Anyway, let me set up a quick chdist instance to investigate this. | 20:13 |
| sidi | Hm, I'm happy to try with the proper dep first so i dont waste your time | 20:14 |
| cjwatson | Like I say, I know it won't solve this issue. | 20:14 |
| cjwatson | So it won't waste my time, although you should fix the bug anyway since your package will just fail to build regardless otherwise (as it won't have the right #includes) | 20:14 |
| cjwatson | Oh, right, I see | 20:18 |
| cjwatson | sidi: You've specified (>= 0.8) - the newest version of that package in vivid (and indeed anywhere in Ubuntu) is 0.3.18-1ubuntu2 | 20:18 |
| sidi | yikes | 20:18 |
| cjwatson | Which is not greater than 0.8 | 20:18 |
| sidi | The API is 0.8.3 afair | 20:18 |
| sidi | Fixed this too, thanks | 20:19 |
| sidi | I expected the package version to follow the API version, I was wrong :-) | 20:19 |
| sidi | Ironically, the updated package gets rejected with "File gtk+3.0_3.14.13-0ubuntu1ppa3.debian.tar.xz already exists in Multitasking Study PPA, but uploaded version has different contents.". | 20:30 |
| sidi | Somewhat the warning at the end of https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/Deleting makes it clearer what I should have done. | 20:32 |
| cjwatson | sidi: You must change the version to one you haven't used before. | 20:32 |
| cjwatson | Reusing versions is bad and wrong. | 20:32 |
| cjwatson | But there are lots of integers, so you can bump the final 3 to 4. | 20:33 |
| sidi | cjwatson, that is what i'm doing right now. I had not expected that I would need to change the version for a debian/ change especially as the package had zero users | 20:33 |
| sidi | but I understand why that was incorrect | 20:34 |
| cjwatson | The bit after the final "-" is specifically for packaging changes. | 20:34 |
| sidi | maybe "forgetting to update the package version number" could be one of the enumerated reasons for the error message on the help page, cjwatson ? | 20:34 |
| sidi | for silly people like me :-) | 20:34 |
| cjwatson | sidi: I've clarified it. | 20:36 |
| sidi | cjwatson, thanks for your help! | 20:39 |
| sidi | cjwatson, do you have a paypal for beer money? :-) | 20:39 |
| cjwatson | Afraid not :) | 20:42 |
| cjwatson | Thanks is enough, it's my job (well, admittedly not on Sundays - time to go and play board games with my wife) | 20:42 |
| sidi | have a good evening then | 20:43 |
