Re: Real newbie ....



Hi Barry,
Are you saying that you're trying to build a Debian package under Ubuntu? It's the same package format but else I'd say that you're asking for the kind of strange behavior you're describing.
Cheers, Eric

BTW, the changelog misses "-1" (The Debian revision). This is weird as
my pbuilder refuses to build non-native packages with a native

check if your're really on unstable :) (My pbuilder is at 0.215) (My
pbuilder builds also against libicu52; so it's not the source) Best

Thanks again for all your help. I deleted the pbuilder directory from
/var/cache and re-created the environment. I also used dpkg -l to see
what was installed. libicu48 is not in my system, but was downloaded
and installed in the chroot environment during the build. It is not in
the pbuilder base.tgz file. I assume the dependency was plucked out of
a sword f ile, so I purged both of the out-of-date sword packages and
dpkg -l doesn't show any at all connected with sword. My own
installation of the up-to-date sword was made using 'make install' as
part of the original build. I've also used the dpkg --clear-avail and
--forget-old-unavail commands to try and get rid of old history.

The version of pbuilder I have is pbuilder 0.215ubuntu7 The build is
marked unstable because I have built from sword svn trunk: release will
be in a few days at which point I can do a stable build.

I always have a current version of Ubuntu as well as the testing version
so although I'm using 14.04, I have a dual boot 13.10 installation on a
separate drive. I'm going to wipe this, and do a clean install of
Saucy. Then I'll make a fresh packaging environment there to get a
clean build. I will put the source there and try as before.

That's unless anyone has any furth er suggestions.

Regards, Barry.
