Hello all,
I am trying to package up kcdlabel, and am having a little trouble
getting the Build-Depends and Depends fields correct. I used the script
from the New Maintainer's Guide to get the Build-Depends, but it appears
to have not worked in quite the way I expected.
I get a list of Build-Depends that correctly builds the package, but
only because of dependencies pulled in with the Build-Depends packages -
e.g., kdelibs-dev depends on libjpeg62-dev, as does this package, but
libjpeg62-dev does not show up as a Buid-Depend. Is this behavior
expected? I would like a way to make all direct Build-Depends show up,
so that if, e.g., kdelibs-dev changes it's dependencies at some point,
the build still succeeds. Any one have other ways of doing this?
The Depends problem seems related to this, although I am not sure. In
my control file, I just use ${shlibs:Depends} in the Depends: field.
After building (in a Woody chroot, thanks to pbuilder - great tool!) I
get a Depends: that looks like this:
Depends: kdelibs3 (>= 4:2.2.2-1), libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4), libfam0,
libjpeg62, libpng2(>=1.0.12), libqt2 (>= 3:2.3.1-1),
libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 (>= 1:2.95.4-0.010810), xlibs (>> 4.1.0), zlib1g
(>= 1:1.1.4)
But:
steve@gashuffer:~$ for i in `ldd /usr/bin/kcdlabel | cut -f3 -d\ ` ; do
dpkg -S $i ; done | sort | cut -f1 -d':' | uniq
kdelibs3
libc6
libfam0
libfreetype6
libjpeg62
liblcms
libmng1
libpng2
libqt2
libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2
xlibs
zlib1g
There's 3 more library packages that aren't found by dpkg-shlibdeps. Am
I misinterpreting here, and I should in fact put these missing packages
in manually, or am I somehow building poorly, and that is causing the
discrepancy in the output?
Packages are available at http://www.lobefin.net/steve/~debian/
The latest build (-5) is lintian clean except for the /usr/share link
warning - this was added automatically by dh_make, so I'll get around to
taking care of that, but I'd like to figure out the problem with Depends
first.
Any help/suggestions/pointers to FM greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Steve
