Bug#408264: mydms: unsatisfiable depends by apt

2007-01-24 Thread Lucas Nussbaum
Package: mydms
Version: 1.4.4+1-4
Severity: serious

Hi,

mydms depends on libapache2-mod-php4 and libphp-adodb. It seems that to
install those two together, one has to specify that the solution is to
install php4 and not php5, by using:

 apt-get install mydms libapache2-mod-php4 libphp-adodb php4

This works, but it clearly suboptimal. Couldn't mydms be tweaked to
support php5 (via libapache2-mod-php5) ?

I'll upload this night it with php4 depenndence.

mydms 1.4.4 doesn't support php5 yet. The upstream version supporting
php5 is still in beta, so It will not be ready for Etch.

I don't follow why you've filed this bug as serious, could you please
explain?

Sorry, was one of my last bug reports yesterday, it wasn't very clear.

mydms is uninstallable because of the above problem:
# apt-get install mydms
[...]
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  mydms: Depends: libphp-adodb (>= 4.64-4) but it is not going to be
  installed
  E: Broken packages
 
If I try to install both of them together, it works, butI get
libapache-mod-php5 (to satisfy libphp-adodb's deps ; note that it's
libapache, not libapache2) and libapache2-mod-php4 (to satisfy mydms'
deps). Since libapache2-mod-php4 conflicts with libapache2-mod-php5,
this mean that this will prevent me to install any other php5 app using
apache2.

The maintainer's solution to depend on php4 will slightly relax this
problem (it seems it would allow to run mydms using php4-cgi, while all
other php apps would run using libapache2-mod-php5), but still, I'm
wondering how hard it would be to just backport the php4->5 fixes to
mydms...

Ok, so the issue is that apt-get isn't able to automatically resolve the
dependencies for this package, to allow a non-interactive install in a clean
system.

I would have to say that's not RC.  The package itself is installable, it
just may require the user to manually pick the dependencies (and with
aptitude this doesn't have to be done manually either).

Right, this happens all too often with php packages, too.  But again, not
RC.

Dunno, but that's for the maintainer to decide now. :)
