Hi all - I've hit what looks like a packaging problem with the released QPID Proton packages up on our project's PPA @Launchpad.
In a 'clean' Ubuntu Trusty system I added the 'released' repository and updated. I then attempted to apt-get install libqpid-proton-dev, and got this: $ sudo apt-get install libqpid-proton-dev Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 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: libqpid-proton-dev : Depends: libqpid-proton2 (= 0.7-4~trusty) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Hrm - why is libqpid-proton-dev dependent on libqpid-proton2 version 0.7-4? That can't be correct. Also: $ apt-cache search libqpid-proton libqpid-proton2 - C libraries for Qpid Proton libqpid-proton2-dev - Development libraries for writing messaging apps with Qpid Proton libqpid-proton2-dev-examples - Example applications for writign messaging apps with Qpid Proton libqpid-proton2-dev-doc - Developer documentation for Qpid Proton libqpid-proton-dev - Development libraries for writing messaging apps with Qpid Proton libqpid-proton-dev-examples - Example applications for writign messaging apps with Qpid Proton libqpid-proton-dev-doc - Developer documentation for Qpid Proton libqpid-proton3 - C libraries for Qpid Proton libqpid-proton3-dev - Development libraries for writing messaging apps with Qpid Proton libqpid-proton3-dev-examples - Example applications for writign messaging apps with Qpid Proton libqpid-proton3-dev-doc - Developer documentation for Qpid Proton Should the 0.7 stuff (*-proton2) be available from that repository? And why is there a libqpid-proton-dev virtual package and not a libqpid-proton one? I got around the problem by explicitly installing the libqpid-proton3* packages: $ sudo apt-get install libqpid-proton3 libqpid-proton3-dev I'm no expert at all things apt/Debian, but the above behavior seems wrong to me. Any idea what's going on? thanks -K --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@qpid.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@qpid.apache.org
