FTBFS in Karmic because of python2.6

[Fabrice Coutadeur]

Hi,

hk-classes FTBFS in karmic:
dh_install: python-hk-classes missing files (usr/lib/python*), aborting
make: *** [binary-install/python-hk-classes] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: /usr/bin/fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2

It's because setup.py has to be called with the --install-layout parameter.

[Andrea Gasparini (gaspa)]

Changes seems fine to me, just take care of:
- Maintainer field needs to be "Ubuntu Developer <ubuntu-devel-discuss@..."
- python-dev version needs to be bumped for to support --install-layout

 I'm test-building right now, in order to get it uploaded.

Anyway: please report this to Debian as well. It's a pity having a merge to maintain for this couple of line.

This bug was fixed in the package hk-classes - 0.8.3-5ubuntu1

---------------
hk-classes (0.8.3-5ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  [ Fabrice Coutadeur ]
  * debian/patches/python2.6.patch: patch python/Makefile.in to add parameter
    --install-layout=deb to setup.py install call (LP: #392390)

  [ Andrea Gasparini ]
  * debian/control: bumped python-dev version to 2.5.4-1~.

I guess that it's this bug I encountered with Knoda......which could'nt find hk_this, and suggested that hk_classes-python was not installed....

I found a turnaround uninstalling ppython-hk-classes_0.8.3-5_i386.deb and installing python-hk-classes_0.8.3-4_i386.deb

So I don't understand why this bug is reported as fixed.....

[robert leleu (robert-jean-leleu)]

Again, I received advice to-day that a new version was available, and in the details about it, it claimed that the version had been corrected.

However it installed again the 8.3.5.....which caused the same failure in Knoda, so I had to reverse to 8.3.4

perhaps it's just au automated behaviour of the update system who, seing an outdated package claims that a new one is available.

So I hope that the present bug will be considered as non fixed.

thanks

[Andrea Gasparini (gaspa)]

Can you please be more complete, and provide a log of the error you saw, and how can we repeat it? thanks.

[Andrea Gasparini (gaspa)]

uhm, and why knoda doesn't depends on python-hk-classes?

$ apt-cache show knoda | grep python-hk
$

[robert leleu (robert-jean-leleu)]

$ apt-cache show knoda | grep python-hk
returns an empty line

the error received through Knoda when I launch it without python-hk-classes or with the 0.8.3.5 is:

error while loading hk_this: hk_this=currentform()
C'est du à une erreur d'installation. Si vous avez installé hk_classes à partir d'un paquet .rpm ou .deb, vous devriez vérifier si le paquet hk_classes-python est installé,

and if Knoda is launched from a terminal it complains that hk_classes isn't installed

My application under Knoda opens Autoform, whose first instruction in the on_open script is
ds=hk_this.datasource()

I didn't see any differences in the details windows when installing one or other version of python-hk-classes

Let me know if you need further detail, but in case of terminal command line, please give it in clear, since I'm not accustomed to.

Thanks

[robert leleu (robert-jean-leleu)]

To-day update installed again 0.8.3.5 (I forgot to check before to let it be installed).....with the same result as previously.
I remian at your disposal for further experiments if requested.

Hi,

I'm not able to reproduce your problem in a karmic chroot, even without having python-hk-classes installed.

Can you send the result of:
type knoda

Thanks,
Fabrice

[robert leleu (robert-jean-leleu)]

tux@tux-laptop:~$ type knoda
knoda est /usr/bin/knoda
tux@tux-laptop:~$

here it is...

[robert leleu (robert-jean-leleu)]

I just had to reinstall Ubuntu 9.10, and experienced the same bug.

[robert leleu (robert-jean-leleu)]

So may we hope that Knoda be again available in the 11.10 release, waiting for Kexi to be operatiqnal !
