Hi, [ CCing libphonon-dev maintainers ]
while trying to fix random RC bugs, I stumbled over this one and tried to reproduce it in my local cowbuilder setup (you used sbuild). This seems not to happen on buildds, as they use sbuilds internal resolver. cowbuilder uses aptitude to resolve Build-Dependencies and fails in the same way your sbuild did: After that I executed cowbuilder --login to debug further. `aptitude install libphonon-dev phonon-backend-gstreamer` gives The following packages have unmet dependencies: phonon-backend-null : Conflicts: phonon-backend which is a virtual package. The following actions will resolve these dependencies: Keep the following packages at their current version: 1) libphonon-dev [Not Installed] 2) phonon-backend-null [Not Installed] (cowbuilder aborts here). However, `apt-get install libphonon-dev phonon-backend-gstreamer` works just fine. Not sure why it tries phonon-backend-null at all (I requested phonon-backend-gstreamer), but I think this is because libphonon-dev depends on phonon-backend-null | phonon and not phonon-backend-null | phonon-backend The fact that aptitude install libphonon-dev phonon-backend-gstreamer phonon suceeds supports my guess (I hope). Long mail short conclusion: bug in libphonon-dev, it should depend on -backend, not on phonon? Currently rebuilding pyside with libphonon-dev phonon-backend-gstreamer installed and phonon purged, to verify that this is what the build-scripts expect, but it takes ages.
