I don't see how that is not an accurate summary of this bug. gpe-contacts does not build because of the SONAME transition, not because of any problem with the pc file. gpe-contacts built correctly before the transition and it will build correctly when the new version is uploaded with changes to use the library AFTER transition. > In libgpevtype-dev 0.50-1 you have an file > /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libgpevtype.pc which has: > Requires: glib-2.0, mimedir-1.0, libeventdb See http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/11/msg00016.html > This means that libgpevtype-dev should Depend on packages providing the > .pc files for glib-2.0, mimedir-1.0 and libeventdb. No. libgpevtype1 DOES depend on the relevant shared libraries: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.6-1), libeventdb2, libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.12.9), libmimedir-gnome0.3, libsqlite0 (>= 2.8.17), libtododb0 (>= 0.08) This does NOT mean that the -dev should automatically depend on the -dev versions of those packages. gpe-contacts 0.47 *does* need to build-depend on libeventdb-dev (>= 0.90) but with that small change, gpe-contacts 0.47 completes the pbuilder autobuild successfully. (Just tested it.) > It has: Depends: libgpevtype1 (= 0.50-1) Correct. When a package needs to use libgpevtype-dev, that package needs to specify the dependencies itself. Otherwise, packages get locked into dependencies that are unnecessary. > So it's missing: > libglib2.0-dev, libmimedir-gnome0-dev, libeventdb-dev No, it is not. There is no reason for these to be added to the dependency list of the -dev package. > Otherwise the libgpevtype.pc is of no use, and anything build depending > on libgpevtype-dev that tries to use it will get an error. gpe-contacts v0.46: Build-Depends: cdbs (>= 0.4.5.1), debhelper (>> 4.0.0), libgpewidget-dev (>= 0.114), libgtk2.0-dev, libxml2-dev, libsqlite0-dev, libdbus-glib-1-dev, libdisplaymigration0-dev (>= 0.28), intltool, libgpepimc-dev (>= 0.8-4), libgpevtype-dev (>= 0.17-5), libmimedir-gnome0-dev, libcontactsdb-dev v0.47: Build-Depends: cdbs (>= 0.4.5.1), debhelper (>> 4.0.0), libgpewidget-dev (>= 0.114), libgtk2.0-dev, libxml2-dev, libsqlite0-dev, libdbus-glib-1-dev, libdisplaymigration0-dev (>= 0.28), intltool, libgpepimc-dev (>= 0.8-4), libgpevtype-dev (>= 0.50), libmimedir-gnome0-dev, libcontactsdb-dev, libeventdb-dev (>= 0.90) -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
