Package: libcamomile-ocaml-dev Version: 0.6.6-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch
Hi, After installation of libcamomile-dev on my Debian unstable system, I can see camomile being listed by "ocamlfind list" : $ ocamlfind list | grep ^camomile camomile (version: n/a) However, as you can see, the version is n/a. In fact, the problem is that the META file in /usr/lib/ocaml/3.09.2/camomile/ is empty. So, for example, it breaks the compilation of ocaml-gettext: No implementations provided for the following modules: Camomile referenced from /home/thomas/debian/package/ocaml-gettext/upstream/ocaml-gettext-0.2.0/build/lib/gettext-camomile/gettextCamomile.cmxa(GettextCamomile) After some search inside the camomile package, I discovered that a META file is included inside the tarball, but that this file is overwritten at configure time by an empty file. That's because it tries to generate the META file from a non-existing META.in file, through a sed (sed display an error at configure time). So, included is a dpatch that rename META to META.in and fixes the problem for me. However, it is certainly not the best solution to fix the problem. Fixing the configure script itself would probably be a lot better, but I don't feel brave enough right now to dig inside the shell script mess of that script.
