[07:39] <jonathon> So I have a build error (Depends: libscalar-list-utils-perl (>= 1:1.42)), but the necessary package (libscalar-list-utils-perl_1.42-1) is in the same PPA. Is 1:1.42-1 >= 1:1.42 ? Log: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/218076469/buildlog_ubuntu-trusty-amd64.libtext-bibtex-perl_0.71-1~ubuntu14.04.1york2_BUILDING.txt.gz
[07:40] <jonathon> PPA: https://launchpad.net/~jonathonf/+archive/ubuntu/texlive/+packages
[07:45] <wgrant> The version in the PPA is actually 1:1.42-1~ubuntu14.04.1york1, which is less than 1:1.42-1, but greater than 1:1.42.
[07:45] <wgrant> So let me see.
[07:46] <jonathon> Thank you :)
[07:47] <wgrant> jonathon: trusty's perl-base declares a Conflicts relationship with libscalar-list-utils-perl
[07:47] <wgrant> They cannot be installed simultaneously.
[07:47] <wgrant> And Replaces.
[07:47] <wgrant> So it's probably not a necessary build dependency.
[07:47] <wgrant> And Provides too.
[07:47] <wgrant> If you drop the version constraint from the build dependency it will work.
[07:48] <wgrant> (perl-base's Provides relationship can satisfy an unversioned dependency, but not a versioned one)
[07:49] <jonathon> Righty, thank you muchly!
[07:49] <wgrant> wily's perl-base only conflicts with old versions of the pacakge.
[07:49] <jonathon> I'll have to check what libtext-bibtex-perl is needed for; I don't really want to have to backport the whole of wily's perl too... :)
[07:50] <wgrant> Heh, yeah, that'd be unpleasant.
