[livesupport-dev] Installing 1.0.1 packages on Ubuntu: Strange errors - Airtime Development Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

import

Hi all,

I'm trying to get LiveSupport up and running on my Ubuntu box, but am
running into some pretty strange errors.

When I try to install the livesupport-libs package, I get this error:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of livesupport-libs:
livesupport-libs depends on libboost-date-time1.32.0 (>= 1.31); however:
Package libboost-date-time1.32.0 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing livesupport-libs (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
livesupport-libs

So I added a Debian sid repository, and installed
libboost-date-time1.33.0, and when I went to check to make sure it is
installed, it looks good:

root@douglas:/home/douglas/My Downloads/livesupport/1.0.1# dpkg -l | grep
libboost-date-time
ii libboost-date-time-dev 1.33.0-3 set of date-time
libraries based on generic
ii libboost-date-time1.33.0 1.33.0-3 set of date-time
libraries based on generic

So when I try to install livesupport-libs, it should go well, right? Nope:

root@douglas:/home/douglas/My Downloads/livesupport/1.0.1# dpkg -i
livesupport-libs_1.0.1-1_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package livesupport-libs.
(Reading database ... 66646 files and directories currently installed.)

dpkg: error processing livesupport-libs (--install):

?

In addition, I tried to generate new Ubuntu packages based on the info in
the release documentation, and aside from the fact that the text needs to
be updated to reflect the switch to Subversion, I ran into a separate set
of difficulties.

I tried to set the version to 1.0.2ubuntu1, and changed the version in
/bin/dist.sh and in /bin/createDebianPackages.sh, as well as changing the
changelog to add a 1.0.2ubuntu1 version. But for some reason it still drew
a 1.0.1 version from somewhere, which led to the following error:

root@douglas:/home/douglas/ls/livesupport/livesupport-1.0.2ubuntu1#
./bin/createDebianPackages.sh -d .. -v 1.0.2ubuntu1 -m "Akos Maroy

Hmmmmmm. Any thoughts?

If I remember correctly, you don't need to change anything in the
dist.sh and createDebianPackages.sh scripts; you just call them with the
-v 1.0.2
command line option. Do not include the package number here.

The package version is 1.0.2-0ubuntu1, and this goes into the changelog
file (and nowhere else). Your package version was missing the "-0".

Thanks, Ferenc. I did miss the -0.

But why would it be thinking it's 1.0.1? That value isn't set anywhere,
unless it goes down the changelog until it finds the nearest available
version number?

Yes, probably it could not parse the first entry in the changelog, so it
looked at the second one. I don't really know, but it sounds plausible.

Howdy, Stranger!
