Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics Version: 1.1.2-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch
Hi there, when trying to build xserver-xorg-input-synaptics from unstable against a lenny system, the fails with this messages: gcc -Wall -g -O2 -I/usr/include/xorg -I/usr/include/pixman-1 -I../../src -o synclient synclient.o -lm -lX11 -lXi synclient.o: In function `dp_get_device': /home/youam/deleteme/tmp/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-1.1.2/obj-i486-linux-gnu/tools/../../tools/synclient.c:490: undefined reference to `XListDeviceProperties' synclient.o: In function `dp_set_variables': /home/youam/deleteme/tmp/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-1.1.2/obj-i486-linux-gnu/tools/../../tools/synclient.c:562: undefined reference to `XGetDeviceProperty' /home/youam/deleteme/tmp/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-1.1.2/obj-i486-linux-gnu/tools/../../tools/synclient.c:598: undefined reference to `XChangeDeviceProperty' synclient.o: In function `dp_show_settings': /home/youam/deleteme/tmp/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-1.1.2/obj-i486-linux-gnu/tools/../../tools/synclient.c:635: undefined reference to `XGetDeviceProperty' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status The reason is that libxi6 in stable is to old for unstable's xserver-xorg-input-synaptics, which of course by itself is okay. Having the build fail instead of not starting at all because of the missmatched versions isn't... Please change the unversioned dependency on libxi-dev into a versioned dependency on somewhere around 1.2.0, where the appropriate symbols seem to have been introduced. btw, backporting the rest of X from unstable to stable worked really straigtforward, mostly it's been a plain recompile. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-xen-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
