I guess I miss a dependency, but I have no idea which one. Maybe it could be a boost version error, too. Any idea? PS: I have not found any list of dependencies for aptitude, so maybe I lack a dependency which causes that error.As for every other package, ensure that you have a deb-src line in your sources.list matching the deb line the package is coming from and execute:apt-get build-dep aptitudeIt should install all needed packages to build the package from source.
To be honest, I did not did it, for a more or less valid reason:there were a lot of things needed, that I am not able to see why they should be needed. An example is elinks, a ncurse web browser ( and without development package concerning it ). There were also things that aptitude does not seems to depends, when I look into what aptitude says about aptitude's dependencies, like python-dev (and I just checked anew, even in aptitude's dependencies there are no python dependency). But I do not know how build-dep works in it's internals, so I may be wrong anyway.
I already did some installation the same way as I did, and everything was fine. At least, I had some dependency errors, but was able to fix them easily by reading the output. Which does not work here. I just installed the aptitude build-dep stuff, and have exactly the same result, still against the git repo. Just did it the right way, by installing stuff aptitude says it depends on for building, and by using "apt-get -b source aptitude", and still the same error.
As this is a aptitude specific question I would suggest following up on aptitude-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org as they can probably help betterwith more specific problems than deity@ can.
Sorry for that, I did not found it on the wiki page http://lists.debian.org/devel.html, where I thought I could find a more pertinent list. I'll send my mail anew there, and register on it.
I authorized myself to add my complete question before sending this mail, to cc it to the list you pointed me on.
Thanks for your reply.
