Source: shadow Version: 1:4.2-3.1 Severity: serious Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
Hi, here part of my build log: Installing build dependencies Reading package lists... Building dependency tree... Reading state information... Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: sbuild-build-depends-shadow-dummy : Depends: hardening-wrapper but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. apt-get failed. E: Package installation failed Dose3 gives a better explanation: package: shadow version: 1:4.2-3.1 architecture: any type: src status: broken reasons: - conflict: pkg1: package: binutils version: 2.27-8 architecture: amd64 unsat-conflict: hardening-wrapper:amd64 (< 2.8+nmu3) pkg2: package: hardening-wrapper version: 2.8+nmu2 architecture: amd64 depchain1: - depchain: - package: shadow version: 1:4.2-3.1 architecture: any type: src depends: hardening-wrapper:amd64 - package: hardening-wrapper version: 2.8+nmu2 architecture: amd64 depends: binutils:amd64 (>= 2.25.90) depchain2: - depchain: - package: shadow version: 1:4.2-3.1 architecture: any type: src depends: hardening-wrapper:amd64 So the problem is that binutils conflicts with hardening-wrapper and indeed: Package: binutils Version: 2.27-8 Breaks: [...], hardening-wrapper (<< 2.8+nmu3) I don't know what the proper solution for this is but #836653 indicates that you might want to drop the build-dependency on hardening-wrapper completely. Thanks! cheers, josch
