I see that your amd64 build of moc doesn't depend on libdb5.1. And yet I've grabbed the latest i386 build of moc (2.5.0-1) from the Ubuntu repository, and this does depend on libdb5.1 I have another Ubuntu machine, this one 64-bit $ uname -a Linux equius 2.6.32-042stab102.9 #1 SMP Fri Dec 19 20:34:40 MSK 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS Release: 14.04 Codename: trusty $ dpkg -l |grep moc ii moc 1:2.5.0~beta1+svn20131120-1 $ ldd `which mocp` |grep libdb libdb-5.3.so => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdb-5.3.so (0x00007f434c70f000) .... hm. Still not getting moc 2.0.5-1 from the repository but the 2.5.0~beta1 instead. But this 64-bit package doesn't have the dependency, so it matches what you saw. I'll need to find another 32-bit machine to test further. Something else occurred to me: maybe there's another library (a 32-bit library?) that's linking in libdb5.1, so it appears in the output of `ldd`. If that's the case, then I need to move this bug report to the other package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1435622 Title: missing dependency libdb-5 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/moc/+bug/1435622/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
