Dependency error in xserver-xorg-input-fpit - Jaunty

[robert1968]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-fpit

xserver-xorg-input-fpit ( version 1:1.2.0-1build1 ) package dependence list.

I have just installed Ubuntu 9.04 alpha 4 . - Jaunty

After I wanted to install xserver-xorg-input-fpit ( version 1:1.2.0-1build1 ) but it has a bad dependency and wants to remove xserver-xorg server and other 20 xserver packages. See attached.

Also, the latest version of this package failed to build on Launchpad...

Please fix!!!

Addendum: to others seeking to fix this error, the current package won't work. I tried simply extracting the module out of the deb file and installing it manually, but this fails. This version is compiled against a different server version so you get this:
[ 0.166192] (II) LoadModule: "fpit"
[ 0.166288] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//fpit_drv.so
[ 0.166368] (II) Module fpit: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
 compiled for 1.4.99.905, module version = 1.2.0
 Module class: X.Org XInput Driver
 ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 2.1

Hi robert1968,

Thanks for including an image to demonstrate the issue. Could you also please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log or Xorg.0.log.old file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.

Don't know how relevant these are since I really think this bug is a problem with compiling the package, but here's the requested stuff, Bryce.

[Jon Arnold (jonarnoldsemail)]

This patch should fix the build. It takes changes from the xorg git.

[Jon Arnold (jonarnoldsemail)]

A deb that seems to work.

Hy Brice, Hi Jon,

Sorry not to answer yet, thanks Jon for attachments.

Yesterday I download and install Jaunty and fpit package. There wasn't any problem.

The problem SOLVED.

This bug report should be closed.

Guys : Thanks for your help.

Best regards,
Robert
