Glom cannot be installed due to dependency on nonexistent libgoocanvasmm-0.1-4

[Dylan McCall]

Binary package hint: glom

The package "glom" in Karmic currently depends on libgoocanvasmm-0.1-4, which appears to have been removed from the repository for libgoocanvasmm-0.1-5. Because of this, the package will not install.

libglom0 also has the exact same dependency.

I have not tested this yet, but I suspect that simply changing the dependency (perhaps to libgoocanvas3, the all-encompassing meta package?) would solve the issue.

I'm not sure what version of Glom you have in Karmic (I'm on Jaunty), but the latest source version of Glom needs the latest libgoocanvasmm version. There was an API/ABI change in a recent libgoocanvasmm version.

[Matthew Woerly (nattgew)]

Version: 1.8.7-0ubuntu1

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

The only sane way to resolve this now is to introduce 1.12 - that is being tracked in bug 391664

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

Sorry, I meant 1.11.2

[Murray Cumming (murrayc)]

Well, the latest 1.8.x source should build with goocanvasmm 0.15, and I'd like to know if it doesn't.

OF course, I'm happy if you update to the latest Glom instead. It should hit 1.12 very soon - faster if you need it.

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

Murray - it probably will build ok against goocanvasmm 0.15. The issue I have though is that I can't rebuild it again because we don't have pygda3 in the archive anymore. 1.8.7 won't work with pygda4 will it? (we don't have pygda4 yet either, but that is easier to fix than making pygda3 available)

[Murray Cumming (murrayc)]

No, glom 1.8 won't build with pygda4. pygda3 and pygda4 could install in parallel, but gnome-python-extras was never split up into separate packages to make that possible.

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

Yeah, I thought so. So the only realistic way to fix this is:

1) Have libgda4 promoted to main (needs MIR), so:
2) gnome-python-extras can build pygda4
3) Update glom to the latest version (needs FFe now we are in to feature-freeze, covered by bug 391664)

I'm currently working on the MIR and FFe tasks.
