Yes, you are right: today I ran apt-get build-dep ... must have been some other
name, but I thought it was the right one and it installed some stuff so
I thought that step was done.
When I run it with the right package name, it says:
bjb@blueeyes:~/projects/xserver-xorg/xorg-server-1.10.4$ sudo apt-get build-dep xorg-server
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Build-Depends dependency for xorg-server cannot be satisfied because no available versions of package x11proto-core-dev can satisfy version requirements
and
bjb@blueeyes:~/projects/xserver-xorg/xorg-server-1.10.4$ apt-cache policy x11proto-core-dev
x11proto-core-dev:
Installed: 7.0.16-1
Candidate: 7.0.16-1
Version table:
7.0.22-1~bpo60+1 0
100 http://debian.mirror.iweb.ca/debian-backports/ squeeze-backports/main amd64 Packages
*** 7.0.16-1 0
500 http://debian.mirror.iweb.ca/debian/ squeeze/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Hmm, I have 7.0.16-1, and that is the squeeze version ...
Re the other package libgl1-mesa-dev:
bjb@blueeyes:~/projects/xserver-xorg/xorg-server-1.10.4$ apt-cache policy libgl1-mesa-dev
libgl1-mesa-dev:
Installed: 7.7.1-5
Candidate: 7.7.1-5
Version table:
7.10.3-4~bpo60+1 0
100 http://debian.mirror.iweb.ca/debian-backports/ squeeze-backports/main amd64 Packages
*** 7.7.1-5 0
500 http://debian.mirror.iweb.ca/debian/ squeeze/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Trying to find dependency problems from another angle, which packages do I
have installed that come from backports:
bjb@blueeyes:~$ dpkg --get-selections | cut -f 1 | while read PKG; do echo -n "$PKG "; dpkg-query -W -f '${Version}\n' $PKG ; done | egrep ' .*bpo'
mupdf 0.8.15-1~bpo60+1
mupdf-tools 0.8.15-1~bpo60+1
Doesn't look like something that would interfere with an xorg-xserver build.
