[hardy] kerry does not include binaries and libraries

[JM Barbier]

Binary package hint: kerry

In Hardy, kerry (1:0.2.1-0ubuntu4) does not include any binary file (no /usr/bin, no /usr/lib), just translation and manpages... It seems to be the same as #76773 which seemed to be solved.. (i did not know if i had to reopen the old one or throw a new bug report... sorry if i did it the wrong way :-)

Thank you

JMB

Please sponsor the attached debdiff for kerry.

Configure was looking for libbeagle-0 and, as that version is not used in hardy, decided not to build kerry binaries:
checking for libbeagle-0.2.5 (at least 0.2.5)... not installed
checking if kerry should be compiled... no

The attached debdiff makes configure use libbeagle1. As the version of libbeagle is hard coded in configure, I set the minimum version of libbeagle-dev to 0.3.0.
This update builds in a hardy pbuilder and installs and runs in hardy kubuntu kde4.

Thank you for your work! The patch is fine, and the binaries are built and packaged. Unfortunately, I get quite a lot of lintian errors on the binary deb. Please take a look at them and see if you can come up with a fix.

Also, when there are Ubuntu changes, we need to mangle the maintainer record in debian/control, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianMaintainerField

Please find attached an updated debdiff.

I did not fix below lintian error and warnings:
W: kerry: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/beagled-shutdown
- correct, there is no man page
E: kerry: no-shlibs-control-file usr/lib/libkdeinit_kerry.so
- this is due to missing soname version; a soname version is needed in a shlibs file
W: kerry: desktop-entry-lacks-main-category /usr/share/applications/kde/kcmbeagle.desktop
- adding a category creates an additional item in the menu. In my opinion that is not wanted.
W: kerry: package-name-doesnt-match-sonames libkdeinit-kerry
- would require to split the package

Err, I did not change the maintainer field, as the maintainer already has an ubuntu.com address and the spec says not to change that.
