Public bug reported: Binary package hint: open-vm-source
module-assistant cannot compile open-vm-source unless all the required development packages needed for compilation are installed. The full list of needed packages is reported in: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/open-vm-tools I think all these needed packages should be recommended by open-vm-source (in fact, the installation of open-vm-source without those packages is nearly useless). Since open-vm-source already depends on bzip2, debhelper, and dpatch, here is the list of packages which should be added in open-vm-source as "recommended": * autotools-dev * libdumbnet-dev * libgtk2.0-dev * libicu-dev * libpam0g-dev * libproc-dev * liburiparser-dev * libx11-dev * libxinerama-dev * libxss-dev * libxtst-dev ** Affects: open-vm-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- open-vm-source should recommend installation of packages needed for modules compilation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300839 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
