dosemu can't be installed because of dependency problems

[zsolt]

it depends on slang1, however:

zsolt@skugg:~$ sudo apt-get install slang1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package slang1 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  libslang1
E: Package slang1 has no installation candidate

Last debian package (1.2.1-3.1) solves this problem (dapper has 1.2.1-3), we should sync the debian package.

[Yann Rouillard (yann-pleiades)]

In fact last dosemu package FTBFS on Debian and Ubuntu, I filled a bug on Debian BTS.

current debian package (1.2.2-3) builds again.

here's the diffstat for the UVF-exc.

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

and the upstream changelog (diffed)

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

hereby requesting UVF-exception ;)
it builds fine (i386 tested) and piuparts is (apart from the usual noise) happy as well.

[Reinhard Tartler (siretart)]

setting to unconfirmed for UVF exception consideration.

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

UVF exc. was already granted... sorry for the noise... will upload soon.

[Reinhard Tartler (siretart)]

I have the impression that dosemu is more or less in maintenance only mode, and no big prgress on new features are made. The changelog looks good, and I'm confident that this new version is better for our users.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

looks fine.

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

gna... newer version FTBFS on everything but i386, so I'll need help from someone with appropriate HW ;).

I'll attach a proposed debdiff, which might fix it, but this is just "blind" guessing... anyone care to testbuild this for me on non-i386?

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

see last comment.

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

well, dosemu is i386 only, so I'll close this bug.
