wmaker-gnome failure [potato]
I'm not sure it this is Alpha specific, if so I'll ask on devel.
I fetched and built the wmaker-gnome source (apt-get -b source
wmaker-gnome) and all went fine during the build. When I went to install
it, it unpacks fine, but fails at the configure with:
dpkg: considering removing wmaker-gnome in favour of wmaker ...
Package wmaker-gnome was on hold, processing it anyway as you request
dpkg: yes, will remove wmaker-gnome in favour of wmaker.
dpkg: considering removing wmaker-plain in favour of wmaker ...
wmaker-plain is not properly installed - ignoring any dependencies on
it.
dpkg: yes, will remove wmaker-plain in favour of wmaker.
(Reading database ... 81751 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace wmaker 0.61.1-1 (using wmaker_0.61.1-4_alpha.deb)
...
Unpacking replacement wmaker ...
dpkg: /home/buildd/build/dpkg-1.6.7/main/processarc.c:814:
process_archive: Assertion `otherpkg->clientdata->istobe == itb_normal
|| otherpkg->clientdata->istobe == itb_deconfigure' failed.
Aborted
First I am confused why a file named wmaker_0.61.1-4_alpha.deb was
created instead of one named wmaker-gnome. Then we come to the error
message, WTF does that mean? :)
TIA,
Ron
