New issue 17872 by gmatht: install-build-deps.sh silently ignores apt-get failures. http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=17872 Chrome Version : 3.0.196.0 (Developer Build 21533) OS + version : Ubuntu 9.04 CPU architecture (32-bit / 64-bit): 64bit What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. To reproduce, Apt-get must have some difficulty installing the exact versions install-build-deps.sh asks for. This is the case on my Ubuntu 64bit 9.04 Machine. If this is not the case on your machine you can intentionally break apt, e.g. with: mv /etc/apt/sources.list{,.bak} 2. dpkg -r gperf # just so that we have a package that should be installed 3. ./install-build-deps.sh 4. which gperf What is the expected result? I would expect that important packages such as gperf would be either installed, or that I would be given some notification that they cannot be installed, together with a list of packages that have to be manually installed. What happens instead? Important packages like gperf are silently not installed. Note that trying to compile before gperf is installed cannot be fixed simply by installing gperf and trying again, see e.g.: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium- dev/browse_thread/thread/f08878972a5836d2?pli=1 Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible. The actual problems that cause apt-get to fail on my machine are as follows. Reinstallation of libsqlite3-0 is not possible, it cannot be downloaded. ... The following packages have unmet dependencies: libsqlite3-dev: Depends: libsqlite3-0 (= 3.6.10-1ubuntu0.2) but 3.6.14.2- 1 is to be installed E: Broken packages A potential solution to this problem is at: http://codereview.appspot.com/98052 Attachments: install-build-deps.sh-no-silent-fail.diff 1.8 KB -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
