Hello there,
I got a report from a user that my dcmtk-ssl 3.5.4 package (which is
submitted, but not yet included) fails during installation with the
following error:
Unpacking dcmtk-ssl (from .../dcmtk-ssl_3.5.4-2_darwin-powerpc.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of dcmtk-ssl:
dcmtk-ssl depends on gcc4.0; however:
Package gcc4.0 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing dcmtk-ssl (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
dcmtk-ssl
### execution of dpkg failed, exit code 1
Failed: can't install package dcmtk-ssl-3.5.4-2
I have not seen this problem, and I have a few questions about this:
- I have a Depends:gcc4.0 in my info-file. I think I did this because
the packaging manual states "and a dependency on one of the (virtual)
gcc packages should be specified." Is it correct, or should the
dependancy be Build-Depends?
- Why does dpkg complain about the missing gcc4.0 package on the user's
system, but not on any of the systems where I tested it? Why does it
complain about a virtual package at all?
Thank you for any help on this.
Cheers
Bernd
