Hi, ilmbase failed to build properly; the test suite failed.
libilmbase-dev is a build-dependency of openexr, and libopenexr-dev is a build-dependency of kdelibs4c2a, which lies at the root of a whole slew of other build-deps. kdelibs4c2a is built against an outdated version of openexr, which makes it uninstallable currently, and with it everything that uses something related to KDE. In order to fix that situation, ilmbase would need to be fixed. The maintainer of ilmbase (Adeodato Simo) told me he's not very familiar with the code (he only maintains it because some package he cares about needs it). Anyone feel up to investigating what's going wrong? (I'd do it, but since I'm moving currently, I have little time, if any) On a side note, I wrote a piece of perl recently that will walk the dependency tree until it finds a package that is uninstallable. I found it very helpful in doing stuff I used to do manually. You can get it at http://comp.uter.be/perl-Packages/ -- first feed a Packages file to cache-packages; then run check-dep-waits, and specify a package name -- the script will output a suggested dep-wait line. Note that if it's a library, you need to verify the suggestion; if the package is uninstallable because of a soname change, then the dep-wait line is wrong, by definition. Also see my blog post on the subject, at http://www.grep.be/blog/en/computer/debian/dep-wait-parser -- <Lo-lan-do> Home is where you have to wash the dishes. -- #debian-devel, Freenode, 2004-09-22 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
