I've been trying to reproduce the issue, but things seem fine, sort of: >From what I could gather: * trusty (14.04LTS) has 1.1 and aspcud 1.8, it works fine * utopic (14.10, latest) has 1.1 and aspcud 1.9 * vivid (15.04, unreleased) has OPAM 1.2, so it's ok. Recommends aspcud, too
Note that there should be no conflict that I know of between OPAM 1.1 and aspcud 1.9 -- it's just that newer OPAM will benefit from the more advanced criteria offered. Where we have been hitting problems on Debian was by compiling with a different version of *Dose* [1] (which has a much less standardised interface). There is still a known issue, though, the missing dependency on m4 that will bite you as soon as you try to install ocamlfind [2] and which is very badly reported with ``` ===== ERROR while installing ocamlfind.1.5.5 ===== Internal error: "ocamlfind": command not found. ``` so it would still be nice if they could backport (so that there is a better error) or recommend m4.
