Hi, guys!
Yesterday, I tried to compile the latest FreeRadius (cvs head) on Sarge and got this:
dpkg-buildpackage: source package is freeradius dpkg-buildpackage: source version is 2.0.0-pre2 dpkg-buildpackage: source maintainer is Nicolas Baradakis <nbk@sitadelle.com> dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture is i386 dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: debhelper (>= 5) dpkg- dev (>= 1.13.25) dpkg-buildpackage: Build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting. dpkg-buildpackage: (Use -d flag to override.)
I should note that 2.0pre0 worked fine, and trying with -d didn't work.
I thought: OK, tomorrow I install on a new machine. Got one with Ubuntu Server LTS, and then... got the same error. This time the error was only with dpkg-dev (Ubuntu comes with 1.13.11), but anyway, does it really need those versions? What do I have to use to compile it without errors?
I don't see any big changes in dpkg-dev 1.13.25 aside from support for lzma archives, which I doubt is needed here. 1.13.19 is a version that is frequently used as a versioned dependency, since that's when the ${source:Version} and so on variables were introduced. Debhelper 5 is likely to be necessary for a variety of reasons. The package will probably build with those versions relaxed, but it may not generate dependencies as the packagers expect. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | QOTD: I've heard about civil | | steve@lobefin.net | Engineers, but I've never met one. | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
